Default Question about TB's

I recently installed a Procharger and disconnected the hose from the TB to the passenger side valvecover. Now I noticed that the TB (the part im holding with my index and middle fingers) is blowing out air. So my question is do I need to plug that up? Wouldn't that be metered air that is blowing out of there?

Thats the "fresh air inlet" tube. The air coming into the throttle body goes into the valve cover to help "purge" the crankcase. It's part of the PCV system.

The FI section guys can probably help more than we can.

Any chance of getting you to move it there for me? I don't like making duplicate threads.
