Default TB Bypass Question

I bought a 3/8" barbed coupling to link the two hoses together but one hose looks smaller than the other? is that how its suppose to be? the fitting fit fine on the passenger side hose but seems a bit to big for the driver side hose.

Yes they're two different sizes. Just slam the small hose on there, and clamp them up. Works fine. I just use a universal coupling I get from Advanced Auto Parts thats way too big for both sides, but I forced them on. Insures a good snug fit and no leaking.

or just buy one piece of hose for the whole job. i seriously cant believe that people have to ask questions on how to do this mod. it is self explanatory.

i just went to autozone and bought about 2 feet of some 3/8 hose and ran it myself, used those little screw things to clamp it down. cost like 10 bucks and took 10 minutes...
