Default 90mm tb coolant bypass question

Just to make sure, I'm guessing the same bypass kit can be used on a 90mm nick williams as you would use with the stock tb? I'm gonna use the bmr kit to save me the hassle of finding all the parts even though it'll cost a little more

Just run a hose straight from the radiator to the coolant pipe from the head. Cheaper plus you will only have 2 spots to worry about leaks instead of 4!

^^^ ya he wants to run a by-pass so I suggest instead of the barb fitting and hose clamps just run a hose straight from the head to the rad. Yes you can cut lines but if u ever wana sell the tb someone might want the lines connected. To each his own
