Editing XF Throttle body (section)

===The water line===

With the water lines that use to run through the old TB, you need to make them connect.
I did this by removing the old bits of pipe, and putting in a short piece of air hose in between instead.
Maybe dodge, but it works.

Now you have 2 big holes in your XF TB that you need to do something with.
You can either block them off, or use them.
In my case, I blocked the one on the top.
I removed the pipe bit by grabbing it with pliers, and then turning it and pulling it out at the same time.
And with the bottom one, I used it to connect to the top of my rocker cover, and to my idle speed control valve using a copper plumbing bit as shown below.

Please note that in this picture, I have both the pipes removed.
I ended up putting the bottom one back in later.
The pipes will be where the arrows are pointing to.
You can see on the inside of the TB where the holes are.

This is what I ended up using to connect my pipes together.
I recommend getting one that is 3/4" all the way with a 1/2" tap off it that goes to the rocker cover.

For the second top pipe, I blocked it off.
The size of the hole is very close to 15mm.
So I went searching for a 15mm welch plug. Such a thing does not appear to exist.
So you have some choices here.
When the TB is off the motor, drill the hole out to a bigger size, you could leave the pipe bit in there, and try and find a big rubber block bit to put over it, or you could remove the brass pipe bit, and get a 16mm plastic thing that you nail onto the bottom of tables and chairs do they don't scratch the floor, and wack that in. (yep, sounds dodge eh?) I have no recommended ways on how to do this.
You will need to work out your own way.
