X16xe Coolant runs through throttle body....

[SR-Rally]

On a x16xe a coolant pipe runs into the throttle body then back out and into the coolant bottle.... Does the coolant need to go round throttle body for a sensor? Or could I cut that bit out? Cheers

it is ment to keep the throttle body cool. you should be able to blank it off. when people fit the powerbox they just leave the pipes off the throttle body.

Its meant to keep the throttle body warm /\

In the UK though you can get away without using it.
Most people just join the pipes together.

I didn't even put a hose on mine, and all was fine

Thinking back I snapped one off fitting the engine lol

You dont have to do anything with the in/out on the throttle body, just need to join the actual coolant pipes together, for obvious reasons.

Or some people just blank it off.
