Here's a link to Marc's site. You can buy one from him that works quite well or you can make your own if your handy.

The connection is just simply removing the two existing rubber hose connections off the throttle body. Then you take the bypass metal line and slip it under the throttle body and air horn and reconnect the rubber hoses to the new bypass line. Most people then cap off the old throttle body nipples so dirt and forgien matter don't get in. No, I don't have any good pics, maybe someone else might.

I don't know about and increase in performance but any reduction in heat at the plenum is a good thing. I took mine one step further and eliminated all water passages to the intake plenum. So when I removed my injector housings last winter, I plugged the water passage so no water entered the plenum and then removed the water lines on the passenger side of the plenum. This will definently improve performance but would not have done it if I was not removing my plenum and injector housings for refinishing.
Here's a pic if the finished product.
