Yeah some people have....but I still wonder how

Also do a search on it, it's been discussed over a million times

It's possible that it could leak. That's about the only problem I could imagine. If that happens put some water pump sealant around it, make sure the clamps are tight and that should be it.

I remember a guy a month or so ago, that actually took his car to a shop because he couldn't complete it...

Everyone was trying to explain it to him, but he finally gave up and towed it to a shop

Hell I think about it, it could've been further back

He should of just taken off the four bolts holding the TB to the intake manifold. It's so much easier when the TB is off.

Usually problems afterwards are from not bleeding the cooling system properly causing overheating.

That sucks...it's a basic modification.

Can't imagine having to have your car towed for it...
