lol, did i give you a idea?? Im just gonna heat mine till i get it out. Or cut it flush and braze it smooth.

haha ya actually u did. thanx taubr unit. i dont see a need to keep my TB coolant pipes with plugs when i did the coolant bypass so i may as well remove them. im gonna try yanking the **** out of them with channel locks tomorrow. if that doesnt work, ill try your other suggestions

haha, i just figured it would look a lot better and im a play-baby like that! Kinda light weight reduction how every little bit adds up. Well every little clean-er-up mod like this really adds up to smoothness in the end. Some may think its stupid but i like doing small stupid mods like this IMO

im the same way. i remove anything 'i dont absolutely need' even if its the littlest thing and it also does give a more subtle, plain look as well. people tell me its stupid and i just tell 'em 'every little bit adds up'

If you can get the TB off the car, it was real easy to crush the end of the tube in a vise and then pull and twist. The tubes are just pressed into the TB housing.

i got mine out, the top one came out REAL easy. The bottom ciilant tubes i bent them till they broke off real close to the TB then drilled through the entire thing.

Haha, like I said- by force. Option B looks good!

still havent went after this yet. been caught up with other things. gonna try channel locks in a twisting/pulling motion first and see if i can free'em up
