I had 2 lines going into my TB so I just hooked them together.

you get 1 3/8 plumbing elbow and connect the two hoses. Have fun doing this mod all over again every six months.. it gets damn cold in ohio and ur idle will go down the drain in the winter.

Best thing for this mod is to put it back to stock.
There is no proven gain to be had and it just screws up your idle, power curve and fuel delivery.

I have to agree with Jeff on this one. I did it yetserday and I can't wait to put it back. My idle is horrible....and quite often bogs down instanly to a dead stall. I started running way rich too....probably because I didn't leave any coolant in the TB and the ECU thinks it's cold all the time so it's dumping fuel trying to warm up. Different strokes for different folks....I hate it.
