putting the plenum and stuff back together today I didn't want to deal with those coolant lines that run to the throttlebody. easiest way would be to just connect them together.
I removed the plate with the coolant stubs from the bottom of the TB and simply cut the straight stub off:
stuck one end into one hose:
and then slipped the other hose on plus 2 new screwclamps to keep it cinched up tight:
good to go.
I plan on eventually bypassing the entire coolant circuit in the lower manifold which will cut the supply to those TB lines and they can be completely removed. but I'll wait until I pull the head so I can do it with the lower manifold removed for easy access.
in the meantime, the pictured solution will do the job.
easy TB water bypass
