i recently got a b16 skunk 2 intake mani. when its on the car and you look to the lower left theres a hole where radiator fluid comes out. ive got a radiator hose ran from it correctly but theres and extra flange attached to it....... ive given up tryin to figure out where it goes to so i ended up ditchin my overflow tank and rerouting that flange to be recycled back into the radiator.... i dunno if thats good or not but it keeps me from losing fluid=overheating...man if you could possibly tell me where that flange NEEDS to be routed or somethin i dont see a place under the throttle body or map sensor for it everything else is plugged in correctly... thanks -b20vtecrr-:blah::blah::goodjob:

If memory serves me correctly the big one connects to the water pump tub by the thermostat housing and on some TB there a little cylinder underneath that coolant runs through.
