removing water line from TB
I read on a post that removing the water line going through the TB will increase your power a bit. I wanted to know if this will have any negetive affects or anything will need to be adjusted, or if it was just a simple mod. Thanks
Re: removing water line from TB
your intake manifold will be cooler(good thing)
then downside is that in the winter your tb can freeze up or something but you live in fl so u should be fine

Re: removing water line from TB
the water line goes in the throttle body..check around the TB it's not hard to find..you just bypass it...
I heard though you can have a rougher idle..i did it on my car and didn't notice one thing

Re: removing water line from TB
I'm still new with this car, but not new to cars in general. If you remove the water line to your TB, its gonna make warm up times longer. As mentioned before you are fortunate that you live in FL so it may not be a problem but anyone else who may attempt this will regret it come winter time. Just thought I'd drop my 2 cents.
