Just wondering how many of you guys run a blanked off bypass on your water pump
Will this improve cooling

I had it blocked on one car. Made no difference to cooling, just better reliability. 1 less hose...

Mine is gone, no issues at all. I did drill a hole in the thermostat as recommended though..

I have blanked mine off, and removed the thermostat. I also fitted this blanking sleeve:
