so u would rather remove the BAC, reroute the cooling lines? live with high idle instead of drilling a hole in your custom made inlet duct and epoxying a nipple on?
Just wanted to make sure I had to, that's all.
I like my 750 RPM idle!

i doin't understand why people go out of their ways to remove things that make the car less user friendly. THey are there for a reason.

I agree with that but anyone in that type of application I think is silly to be using a stock EFI computer for that very reason. The whole system is designed to run stock with all those components there. To 'delete' the components is just a bandaid to the real problem.
And what's so complex about a BACV anyways?

Getting rid of all of that **** makes working on the car so much easier. When the AE was together, I could remove the TB/UIM in less than 5 min. And like Rotaryman said it is one less thing to break.

I would also rid my engine of all of the emissions equipment, but the BACV is not for emissions. It doesn't require any special concern when building an engine. I will put one on everyone of my vehicles race or daily driver. The purpose of the BACV or IACV (Bypass air concrol valve or Idle air control valve) is to take filtered air and move it directly to the combustion chamber bypassing the turbo, piping, intercooler, throttle body and upper manifold.
The result is imediate air to the engine when its starving to breathe. This would occur in low idle, high load situations. Such as A/C on at idle, power steering at low speeds, braking hard at low speeds, etc...
I would run it! It does nothing but help the engine and keep it at a certain idle speed. Whats not to like about it?
