    Bypass or keep throttle coolant hoses

    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

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