What did you do about the open port to the TB?

Used J B weld. Used the self mixing nozzle and pumped it into the cavity until it came out the other end. Worked awesome.
Picture shows down vent with a barbed fitting changed it out to Swaglock 1/8 pipe to 1/4 SS pipe with no catch can
Need to be careful drilling holes for 45 degree 1/8 pipe to 1/4 hose barb that there is clearance to screw them in so barb does not hit backing plate.
Will be doing another one for the 58mm backing plate for my 110 build.

Gotcha. Was looking at mine, trying to decide if I could tap, and plug them.
Thanks!

Some mentioned how they were over conscious of looks. Here is how mine is set up. To me it looks like it could be stock if noticeable at all. Have to get down on the floor to see filter.

Hopefully the stone filter is filtering the air leaving, not the incoming... I'd personally probably just take stone filter out. But otherwise, Cool, if you don't have a cross over pipe going thru there in the way.
