TB Bypass Issue I just finished the tb bypass yesterday and I've ran into a couple of issues...
1. The two hoses that are now connected sometimes hangs too low and I can hear it rub against the black pulley area right beneath the throttle body. I think I've angled the hose and enough but sometimes I can hear it rub. Anyone else have this problem?
2. I spilt a little bit of coolant from the lines when I disconnected the two lines and I didn't have a rag handy. Anyways I think the coolant lubricated the belts just enough to where the belts whine for the first few 5-10 minutes when I start the car up in the morning. Then it goes away for the rest of the day only showing up for the first minute or so when I start it up.
Any suggestions? The whine is pretty annoying...
Thanks guys!

I really didn't want to use zip ties but I might... just to get by.. I might just get a piece of longer hose.
That's what my mechanic said too about the belts... it's just kinda annoying to hear my car make those sounds

So I just spray directly onto the belts and pulleys with the brake cleaner?
