You have radiator coolant fluid going into the TB and out. All you need to do is to locate these two rubber lines, pull them off of the TB and joine them together.

BTW: there is a tech article on this mod on this 3rd gen board, check it out.

Pull off the hoses & run down to Ace hardware & get some rubber stoppers & then put them on.

hey doc your north of monroe? i'm heading down that way april 22nd i believe for the jefferson car show, you gonna have your car there? it sounds relatively easy, just connect two hoses together..i just never knew what it was all about...i didn't really look at my new TB, is there just not a inlet and outlet for coolant or what? do they just delete that to make the in coming air have a cooler charge or what?
