Default Need help with coolant by pass

I installed the coolany by pass. A whole bunch of fluid drained (car was cool but I am parked on somewhat of a hill upwards). A few questions. On installation the tubes are basically on the same side of the engine (passenger) ? One went into the TB and the other was near the big engine piece?

Back again on the coolant. Again a lot of fluid drained and I put it back into coolant place. When I start it, it says low coolant. What should I do? How much time does it take for the coolant to go back in?

Oh crap. I took the tube out of the one on top of the throttle body. Is it really on the other side of the engine?

I had the car running for about a minute with the tube from where the coolant came out from (right side of the engine) to the tube that was on top of the TB. Is this bad?

No one worry. :D I think I fixed it. Everything seems alright. No more low coolant.

With those new MAF ends I feel :reddevil
