Abosolutely no RWHP to be found there. But it does look better without the hoses running up to it.

I recently did this mod only because my throttle body is now relocated because of the whipple and the throttle cable was rubbing a hole in the hose. now that the hose is gone, no problem.

I'm not talking about the lines comming off of the TB, I'm talking about the line on the radiator and the intake. I just took the hose comming from the radiator and connected it straight to the line on the intake.

sounds right. there is a line that comes out of the top of the engine and in to the TB, then another line that comes out of the TB and in to the radiator. All you do is make the line go out of the top of the engine and in to the radiator. you do remove one hose all together. There isn't anything to plug other than the barbs on the TB, but, that's not necessary. I hope that makes sense.
