Default throttle body question?

can you remove the 2 coolant hard lines that attach to the throttle body? did the tb bypass mod, and don't like the look of the caps on the tubes under the tb. just wondering.

a little confused on the question... you need to either have the caps on or the ports tubed over, whats wrong with having the caps on?

I don't think it will hurt. Since it is a water only passage you won't get a vacuum leak or anything.

don't like the looks of the caps on the tb, think it would look better and cleaner without those 2 hard lines coming out of the tb.

Just pull em out, no need to plug em off anyway. Ive even cut the line boss down smooth for a couple of guys. Its just an in and out on the coolant on the bottom, you do the bypass- no need for em anymore.
