yall know the makers of Wizaired CAIs? Well, I went to their website earlier. They have this elastomeric plug that goes into the L36 TB to block off the coolant passage. Unknown price. Thoughts?

EDIT: Here is their home page. Look for the Throttle Body Coolant Plug. Herc, what this looks like is a rubberized cannon plug cap.

Did the previous owner put the air filter in a bucket of water?

If the intake/TB/MAF is that wet and rusty, I wonder how the intake/heads/valves look...

I think it had to do with the hose that runs infront of the rad which is hooked up to a hydrogen cell. - no bubbler or filter.
