Default Please Help

I was trying to install a TB Bypass on my '92 coupe. the kit seems to be an adapter from 3/8" to 5/8". the only hose that exits the TB on the passenger side is about 3/4". This was supposed to be a very easy mod and now I feel frustrated. :mad Am I really stupid and missing the hose? Or is the kit the wrong size? Please Help

Passenger side (entrance hose) is 3/4" ID, the exit hose is 1/2" ID. You can either plug the ends of the hoses, couple them beneath the air intake using a 1/2" OD to 3/4" OD adaptor, or remove the T fittings, and replace them with inline tubing. Don't expect to feel the difference in HP when you are finished. Hope you drained the coolant from the top of the engine, instead of allowing it to flow into your opti, before you removed the hoses.
Good luck........
