need4speed Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I was thinking of just blanking the 2 hoses off for this. Has anyone had any issues doing so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Originally it went from top of radiator -> plenum -> inlet manifold, I would just go from radiator -> inlet, it's there for a reason I am sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikec Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've done both ways, not sure I had issues either way but prefer the above solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Noisy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 if you read through my thread you will see i have removed it, going direct from inlet to rad. it is there to prevent throttle icing, BUT its not really cold enough in uk. and it is unlikely it would happen in any country tbh due to latent heat in the engine bay which builds quickly. anyway the only thing to be careful of is that two of the holes are open to the air and you get a mystery fast idle when you take it off!! its all detailed halfway through ,y thread but yes just remember to put some of the bolt back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
