Default throttle body bypass size tube
How big are the tubes on the TB running in and out. Wanna know cause i bought a 3/8 in diameter brass tube but it looks bigger then the hose.

3/8" should definitely be the size, I'd check to make sure you're unplugging the right hoses lol Unless coolant came out, then you'd have the right ones.

You should never plug the steam pipe plumbing.
