Its what im in the process of doing. I know quite a few others have done it too.

I was also looking at removing some of these, what are the advantages?

Aircon gone - better cooling

EGR gone - less to go wrong, no more impossible to find boost leaks

AIV gone - less to go wrong, no more gurgling noise/less weight

Carbon Cannister gone - no more chances of boost leaks

FPRV gone - less to go wrong (if it does, possible melted piston time)

TB Coolant Bypass - get rid of perishable coolant hoses and elimintate those pesky water leaks

 

And there's more LOL

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

keep the air con is my advice ;)

:rofl: Yeah cos we all know how hot the UK is :rolleyes: ;) :tongue:

lol so whats the FPRV ? is it easy to remove

FPRV - just run a vac line directly from the top passenger side of the plenum to the fuel reg then get rid of all the bumf in the passenger wing area....

Hi Andy ........will we be doing this when its my engine rebuild time ?
