Talking pics of UIM blocked off

Anybody have pics of a UIM with the block off plates installed??? I need to know what exactly needs to be blocked off so I can finish my project. I have the Banzai block off kit and already did the LIM but am lost on the UIM, pics would help please.
I guess the Double throttle would be a good idea to remove also I am not worried at all about emissions

Disabling the double throttle was a pain because the screw head stripped on me while removing them so I had to drill out but eventually it was all off. Installed the block off plate took no longer than 30 min.

You have to drill them out regardless b/c they're mushroomed on the other side

Re: the coolant hoses, on all customer cars I simply run the coolant line from the rear iron straight forward to the back of the wp housing. You take the UIM and hardline out of the equation, no need to block off anything

OK I see what you mean about the rear iron hose to the WP housing, so by doing this I wont have to block off the the two coolant nipples on the TB can I just leave them open??? Also can I remove the hardline that used to come from behind the WP housing?

Thanks

Yes and yes.

Depending on mileage, probably best to replace that hose with a new one. The oem hose will fit, just need to re-orient it by 90 degrees.

Yeah I redirected it and it fits I just had to twist it a bit, thanks for all the help never realized it was that easy. Should I plug the coolant holes in the TB with vaccum hoses?

by 'coolant holes' you mean the hardline nipples? you can just leave them as-is, or cap them off to make them look prettier.

On the entension manifold you will block off the AWS and double throttle. On the intake manifold you will block off the EGR (if 93/94) and the secondary air thing (forget the name). Block off plates can ge got from uhm forgot that to. You can google FC block off plates (they sell for FD to).
