Hi,
Has anyone found out whether it's best to leave in place, or remove any pipes supplying hot water from the engine to the TB ??

In other words, does it run best warm, or left cold ??

cool, it seems strange knowing that cold air is more dense, and is the reason the cold air intake systems are fitted to cars, and yet evidently warm air is required.
Thanks !

Same as why on old carbureted engines there would be a hot air duct to snorkel on air cleaner. to prevent throttle icing in cool wet conditions. Happened to me once/twice, engine stalls--gap around throttle blade ices up. :ohmy:

Don't need in Death Valley but in Nova Scotia, yes.
