Do I need my ICV?

[broke30]

Hey all,
I am new to e30s and was browsing through the engine bay thread and came across quite a few people who aren't running ICV's. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...t=71682&page=4
Can I take mine out as well?

Umm, all of those M20s have ICVs. I didn't look through the whole thread but the ones on that page have it.

I do believe that 325e's (m20b27) just have it in a different location than the 325i (m20b25) if I am not mistaken. On the i's, its by the throttle body, on the e, isnt it on the valve cover?

Mostly running off of previous conversations as I have never owned an e model.

I don't see anybody missing theirs? M50s and S14s have it under the manifold.. not visible from outside, but still there I bet.

I am not running one on my Turbo car, I just have a cracked TB, I am running a standalone though. I need to add a cold start solenoid to give it a little extra air when it's cold.

Maybe that is my problem, those are all i engines and my 325e has it on the intake manifold right above the valve cover. Sorry guys, I'm just plain retarded!
