You CAN just remove it; but that introduces another set of problems. The Computer Monitors the engine temperature, and if the engine is not warming sufficiently the computer will start to report a fault. A cold engine does not perform as well, and if the thermostat is removed the engine will not be able to reach operating temperature. The thermostat restricts coolant flow into the radiator while the engine is cool. Once the engine warms to operating temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing excessive heat to be dissipated through the radiator.
Removing the thermostat is NOT recommended and can significantly affect performance and engine wear.
