Changed TB

OK, so I put a new TB on, when I disconnected the tubes going into the bottom of the TB, coolant leaked out everywhere, is it ok that it got on the engine and pullies?

TB bypass

Ok, when doing the TB bypass mod, what if the TB does not have the to pipes coming out of the bottom of the TB? I got a ported TB and it did not have the 2 pipes. What now? Do I need some plugs or will it be alright just to have the holes?

Just connect the two lines together with a coupler. RKSport wants to take your money by selling an aluminum coupler for $25. WTF!!! Anyways, to make the tubes look better under the TB, just cut it off with a Dremel.

Ok, so I did the TB bypass, but the coupler hangs a little too close to the top pulley. It's about a 1/2" to 3/4" gap. Is this okay?

It's fine, mine is closer than that. Make sure it's not going to start sagging though. You can always cut some of the hose to make it a little tighter though.
