The top barb should be capped off. The bottom barb is one of two barbs for coolant to flow through, the purpose of which was to warm the throttle body, but they were never hooked up from the factory on SyTy's. I guess they figured the turbo would heat up the intake fast enough. So you dont need to worry about the two barbs on the bottom of the Throttle Body.

The top barb needs to be capped off. If you dont it will be a boost/vaccum leak and you will see your boost fall off at Wide Open Throttle.

haha, yea. i felt like there was a leak somewhere. just wasnt sure if that was the problem. cause if you told me that if it wasnt capped off there wouldnt be any difference, then id have a big problem cause then i would have to start checking all the hoses for hairline cracks etc etc.

If they are stock hoses, you should replace them all anyway
