I had it under the elbow and above the pulley before....but I got bored and wanted to do something so,I bent up 5/16 tubing.
IDK I was bored and its not mm's from hitting the pully anymore.
Dont worry,I cleaned the engine bay after those pics!

If u plan on doing the TB bypass, you wont have to worry about plugging the ends on it. ive done that to my car, and some other free mods as well. if you have any questions, feel free to ask away!

Why run the hose . {2} caps /clamps 2 vacuum caps on the throttle body and boom your done.
or does the metal tube running from one head to the other have to complete the flow back to the radiator like the factory has it done before doing the bypass?

i would go with one hose, but if you want to join the 2 just get a 3/8 pex coupling from the plumbing section of home depot... or find a plumbing truck around town and ask them for one.. im sure they will give it to ya for free

This mod is a complete waste of time. It's not even one of those "every little bit" mods. The coolant runs throught a two inch straight shot at the bottom of the TB. I did the mod and when I realized what I was actually doing, I was like 
I had thought the coolant was running all through the TB or something.
You'd be better off buying some Type R stickers or yellow wire loom.
It's only there to help the TB blade from freezing shut at -900 degrees F.
