Default TB Bypass Issue

I just finished the tb bypass yesterday and I've ran into a couple of issues...

1. The two hoses that are now connected sometimes hangs too low and I can hear it rub against the black pulley area right beneath the throttle body. I think I've angled the hose and enough but sometimes I can hear it rub. Anyone else have this problem?

2. I spilt a little bit of coolant from the lines when I disconnected the two lines and I didn't have a rag handy. Anyways I think the coolant lubricated the belts just enough to where the belts whine for the first few 5-10 minutes when I start the car up in the morning. Then it goes away for the rest of the day only showing up for the first minute or so when I start it up.
Any suggestions? The whine is pretty annoying...

Thanks guys!

you could get some black zip tie to hold the hose up, and i donno about the wet belts i think it has to wear off...

I really didn't want to use zip ties but I might... just to get by.. I might just get a piece of longer hose.

That's what my mechanic said too about the belts... it's just kinda annoying to hear my car make those sounds

spray it with just enough brake cleaner to remove the coolant and she should be golden, same as the pulleys

So I just spray directly onto the belts and pulleys with the brake cleaner?
