Bypass or keep throttle coolant hoses

[bmwmotorrad]

Ok, so I am installing a 325i throttle body in place of my smaller one fitted to my m20b20 320i e30. The question is should I replace the hardened cooling hoses to it and keep it stock or just do a bypass? Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated!

If you're in Florida I would eliminate them for cooler throttle temps. I have a few buddies that live in Florida and have done it with no regrets.

Bin them.
Less potential leakage.

nonsense. it's not going to make even a tiny difference in performance.

Personally, I say unconnected line fittings look like ass, looks like a hack mechanics work


-mine are off BTW, and it IS an issue here

Ok, good to know, thanks. I've never done it myself.

In Florida it won't matter, I say ditch 'em

they are to stop icing on the throttle body, so there not needed as stated before
