Hey i just opened the box, on the cold side (i think) theres a little metal tube coming off a pipe, its about 1 or 1.25 inch, si that for the stock bypass valve?

What did you guys use to plug it, if it is?

Did you order an S14 kit ?
If so, then yeah, for the bypass.

You can weld it shut, plug it with a cap or actually use it :)

Hey, the pic that zelda tossed up is the cold side. If you are talking about the other side (drivers), inside the wheel well - yes that is for the stock diverter valve.

Zelda, is that your car? If so - that is fscking clean - nice.

ok there are two pipes on the cold side. one that runs from the turbo outlet to where the stock smic would be, then the one that runs from the FMIC to the stock cold pipe...

That's the hotpipe (i.e. hotside) There is only one bung on the hot side and that is for the diverter valve as stated earlier.

Just FYI- from turbo to I/C is hot : From I/C to throttle body is cold
