Yeah I removed all the red x's from under my hood, and the FD runs PERFECT now!

Oh and about blocking off... I wouldn't block off that particular Red x... it's an important one!

Nothing to block off if you replumb the hoses together and actually remove the lever with the screw in it. If you don't actually remove it you will have to wire it so it doesn't come in contact with the linkage. And if you replumb the hoses together then you don't neet the thermowax unit on the TB at all either.

Yes you can remove ATA. Depending on which BOP kit you get, it will have a plate for that. As for the intake nipple(s), I used a piece of steel rod (rather than using a bolt) zipped-tied in silicone hose to block them off.

Instead of wiring it up, you can just turn the screw all the way in so it rests up against the wax rod. It stays out of the way. Even though it'd look a lot nicer if u just removed it all though.

hmm...well i used the block off plate set from rx7store...and i just took out the double throttle butterflys last night.

i plugged up the coolant line on the block and the back of the waterpump housing.

i just wasnt sure what else to do to the throttle body...since most of the searches i did pretty much lead to taking out the spring and screwing it in all the way (first pic?)

so i can just unbolt the 2 things in the first pic and im done?

hmm anyone have a pic of a throttle body with everything that i dont need removed?


oh ya...also have some other vac line questions

what about the vac line that connects to the oil filler neck? can i just get rid of those too? pretty sure i read that you can just cap off the one going to the pcv valve...but the other one that comes from the primary turbo inlet thing? i can just block that off too right?
