Sucks in more air

Its hard to explain but TB's were not designed for cold starts, Mark will agree with me no doubt

TB's are fine on cold starts, you just have to have them set slightly more open than you do now, then you adjust the idle with the advance, this will let it turn key and run. My nova does this from cold (unless very very very cold, iut's just a quuestion of tinkering.
Oh an doften cause cold start compensation is too much.
