IACV delete? Who's done it?

Perfectly adequate, but I can feel smugly superior because mine is made from genuine engineering grade brass shim.

Use a smear of non hardening gasket goo on both sides of the blanking plate.

You can bypass the coolant hoses if you really want to, but it's no big deal. The amount of heat that can pass into the inducted air from either the IACV or FITV is miniscule, I doubt you'd be able to even measure any performance gain on a dyno.

when my fitv was all the way loosened up, for some unknow reason, it idled at like 3500, so i un plugged the iacv cauz i thought that was bad...then the car surged from 1400 to 1500 verry rapidly...i didnt mind that at all, but once i fixed thos 2 problems, the car lost noticeable performance, so i am currently in the process of making block off plates proffessionally at skool, so if anyone wants some let me know, and i will give a good deal

You can buy brass shim stock from osh really cheap, its not that difficult to work with about the same as cutting a soda can.
