1. I am upgrading my turbo to a S14 unit, and will be using the S14 water neck/weld a port on the S13 unit. During that, I will remove the intake manifold to reroute my water lines (to/from chassis, block stock turbo water line, etc), and change to an aftermarket oil block for my oil cooler setup.

Is it ok to remove the water line going to the IACV? Will there be any ill effects?

2. How long do the steering dust boot last? I replaced my steering rack with a Ebay remanufactured one about half a year ago (the unit came with the inner tie rods and boots). However, when I was check for suspension noise (thought it is just caused by non-greased polyurethane steering rack bushing), I could not believe them boots are ripped already. I was wondering how long should they last?

3. Also, I have some Ebay tension rods on the car now, and they are about 4 years old (used on my S13 before). How long do those pillowball usually last? Will they start making noise when they are on their way out?

Thanks in advance
