TB bypass

Ok, when doing the TB bypass mod, what if the TB does not have the to pipes coming out of the bottom of the TB? I got a ported TB and it did not have the 2 pipes. What now? Do I need some plugs or will it be alright just to have the holes?

Just connect the two lines together with a coupler. RKSport wants to take your money by selling an aluminum coupler for $25. WTF!!! Anyways, to make the tubes look better under the TB, just cut it off with a Dremel.

Ok, so I did the TB bypass, but the coupler hangs a little too close to the top pulley. It's about a 1/2" to 3/4" gap. Is this okay?

It's fine, mine is closer than that. Make sure it's not going to start sagging though. You can always cut some of the hose to make it a little tighter though.
