what did you do with the other pipe...I don't quite understand you're method but I guess until I inspect the hoses then I can't say anything.

Can anyone post some pics?
It's easier to suss out for us non-8v owners if there are some pics.

But was hoping for one a little closer up to the TB!

There should be a supply and return line...is there a 3rd?

Done it you're way axewielder. Works perfectly.

Ess, basically there are 2 pipes going to tb, one from front head flange and the small one from header tank. I unclipped the one from front flange to tb, and connected it so instead of from flange > tb, it now goes flange > header tank. It replaces the header tank small line.
