thanks. I am in hot country so I will bypass these lines. this is the most cheap mod you can make and I think its works fineIt's funny people use thermal gaskets etc etc but no one ever mentions the hoses taking hot coolant near the manifold/TB. I've routed the hoses that normally go to the throttle body around it instead, as they would surely pass a lot of heat to the throttle body - not ideal, as long as you aren't in a country where ice up may be an issue it's fine.
