Do i need this???
I ported the throttle body on my 87 turbo II... I removed the first set of butterflies.
I was wondering if I needed the control unit (Thermowax?)

The reason I ask is because of the coolant line that goes into it from the rear rotor housing, can I cap the nipple from on the housing?
** Also do I need the Air bypass valve???
If anyone has a write up on what is needed in for the coolant system?
Thanks Jon

Well I don't have a stock turbo and I don't drive it in the winter....
So I can remove the BAC, plug the rear nipple?
Will there be any coolant running to the intake manifolds?

Also while we are on this topic... I bought an auto meter coolant temp gauge... the temp sensor that came with the gauge is too big... any suggestions?

you would have to drill into the waterpump housing to install that temp sensor. Lots of people did it for their temp sensor, its most accurate just before the thermostat before it goes into the rad.
Or if you dont want to drill and taking off the water pump housing to do it, you can buy one of those radiator hose adapters for temp sensors. Bad thing is that if your thermostat failes you wont know, and also since its after the thermostat, the temp will be shown cold until the thermostat opens up.
I drove my GXL in the winter for a week with no coolant going through the throttle body and even at normal temp, damn frostings was forming around the plates lol. The TB would get stuck sometimes.....it sucks.
