go to your local parts store and get some 5/16 fuel line. pull both hoses off the throttle body, and just run the one 5/16 hose from the rad. to the coolant tube

I bought hose from the parts store and a cheap vacuum cap set and some clamps. You don't need some special after market stuff to do this.

Agreed...take advantage of that seldomly used thing in your head to figure out how it works (it's really very simple).

Whats size connector is for the 2 hoses is needed? I no the coolant tube is a lot smaller than the the radiator tube. I tried using one hose, was really loose on one end and couldnt get it over the radiator end.

I have always said.. think out side the box for getting parts.. cause sometimes all they are just just a piece of metal, tubing, etc... local hardware store, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. The guys and girls at the local ACE hardware know to just leave me alone to figure out what I am trying to build or make... the new staff are always puzzled by me browsing around and trying to assemble my parts there on the floor sometimes LOL... like what are you building !!!

Another tip is to cruise around the industrial area where the do home and business and not normally autos.. but if you bring them your design, they will make it a lot cheaper that someone who a speical car shop.. sheet metal shops.. tubing and hoes shops, etc..

You don't even need a hose.

My stock one was long enough to go under the tb. All you need is the male/male connector.

There should already been two hose clamps on your tb. One on each side.

I didnt quite like the connector method to bypassing the TB, I have this done and am going to use the 5/16 hose until eventually I will just tap the back of the water pump.
