Throttle body coolant hoses

Sooo after a good bit of work and downtime on the car I finally got it running again after getting a new 2860rs/injectors/tune and a bunch of new silicone hoses blah blah blah. 
 

somewhere along the way I seem to have lost a coolant hose or something? I didn’t have anything attached to the coolant nipple coming out of the TB and sprayed coolant everywhere upon the first drive. It’s the only open port though so I’m kind of assuming I’ve lost a T coming from the rear of the motor near the firewall? As of this moment that port is the feed to the turbo, so should I just T in right there?
 

The previous owner had the port nearest the rail on firewall side plugged so I left it like that. I took some pictures on my DE block as it’s much easier to point all this out with the motor out of the car. (DE has the port the other owner blocked off blocked from the factory in the casting)

Just delete the coolant feed to the TB. We don't need them here in Oz. Not cold enough to need to prevent icing in the TB, unlike northern Nippon.

Same here in Louisiana.

I guess I should have asked more about this than the original routing. 
should I just plumb from the intake at the bleeder screw down to the rear port coming off the block? 
My problem is I do not know where the flow goes from the throttle body at all.

 

Just cap all the smaller lines and ditch the bleeder screw entirely? Treat me like I’m stupid because I am….

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
