Removing VSA throttle body.

I plan on removing my VSA throttle body as I am switching my intake manifold and getting a larger bored throttle body. The only thing I am still confused about is what do I do with the 2 coolant lines?

Just do the throttle body coolant line bypass

Here you go. This was very helpful for me. There are 4 hoses. 2 go to the TB and 2 go to the VSA. Follow them to the plugs on the engine and connect them together. So the 2 that went to the TB would connect directly to each other and the 2 that went to VSA would connect directly together. One of the VSA hoses is really awkward and under a bunch of wires and stuff. Good Luck, it's not very hard, just remove the intake and stuff to make room. Get some little rubber caps to cover the holes on your TB.

** This is not recommended for people who live in extremely cold environments because the purpose of the coolant flowing to TB and VSA is to keep these parts from freezing and sticking.
