Well, my heater core blew up a few months ago and I just got off my lazy ass and re-routed the coolant lines from the firewall. I just ran the tubing in a U-turn fashion at the firewall and I also ran a U-turn at the two metal hoses. Long story short I have no heater and everything is run cleanly.

My question now is what about the two little coolant lines that run into/out of the EGR spacer? Can I remove those lines without disrupting anything? I would just bypass the TB and run the hose under to the other side. I figure this will work fine but I wanted to ask first.

Thanks

Yep, you dont really need those lines, and rerouting them will work if you dont want to completely block them off.

You wouldn't pass visual for smog inspection with the re-routed coolant lines would you?
