Hey guys,
What exactly is the purpose of this blower in the engine bay? My situation is I don't have hoses attached. I've been running my car without it hooked up. I read that a couple of threads that you don't necessarily need it. You can cap off the hole on the driver side (mine is currently open). As it is right now, after I run her a little while, she smokes out of it a bit until she cools. Thanks, Jason Attached thumbnail(s)

Here in the Netherlands, at the bi-yearly mandatory tech test from our DMV, we need it. We need something to blow on the windscreen, so if we take that blower out, we need to put something else back to do that task. There are tricks and tips to overcome this (in case they spot it all all), but easier is that it is in place.
