ok, I recently removed my tb, uim and lim and cleaned everything, replaced my primary fuel rail and p/d, did the tb butterfly mod, installed pineapple 6-port sleeves, and replaced hoses/cleaned stuff...now I need a replacement hose that went from the engine to the throttle body. I went by discount auto part, pep boys, and autozone, and couldn't find any preformed 90 degree coolant hose for the size i needed (to fit under the uim, where it attaches to the engine).
Any ideas on what I could use? What did you guys use?
I ripped my stock hose getting it off. I was thinking of taking off the hose from my parts car, adding a male/male hose connector, and adding an extra length of striaght hose to the bac....you thoughts, please....this is the only thing keeping me from putting it all back together and seeing what difference was made

but one end is under the uim...I'd have to remove the uim again to put the hose on later, wouldn't I?

I'd just cap it. It will get plenty of heat through convection to deactivate the fast idle. You may have to adjust the fast idle a little though. No big deal.

I went to ACE hardware and bought 2 hose connectors, threaded on one end and ribbed on the other, and a 90 degree elbow, everything brass...if this doesn't work, I'll go ahead and cap it, but I'd like to know what to do about the BAC...any takers?
