TB bypass question...

Hey guys, I have done the TB bypass a couple of months ago and it is holding up great. My question is that I didnt cap off any of the ports left over from the other hoses being removed off the TB. Does this affect anything at all? If so what should I cap them off with? Thanks!!:hail:

If you have no leaks, you are good. You could cap them to keep dirt out, but it's not neccesary.

nope. You can leave all that off. Maybe think about mounting some type of cooling hoses to it, but other then that i cant think of anything else.

What other ports? You only removed the 2 coolant lines correct? Those you can leave open. What bothers me is when you say the other hoses. The other hoses deal with metered air.
