B&B intercooler questions/install

[fredmeister]

Just installed the B&B intercooler on my 79 930 and had a problem with the plumbing....
The stock intercooler had 2 fittings on the low temp side of the intercooler for the air bypass valve and another valve (not sure what it is) which had a slightly smaller ID. I think it is a throttle control diaphragm Decel valve.
Anyway, the problem being the new intercooler only has one fitting installed for both these hoses. I did not want to try to build a tee connection as it becomes rather large and ugly to make out of elbows and other fittings. I simply capped offf the upper hose to the decel valve and am running the hose from the air bypass only back to the intercooler.
Is this a problem? the car seems to run fine this way so far and I do not notice any engine running differences without this hose connected.
Anyone else disconnect this device and not have any problems?
what is it really used for in the first place?

I actually helped a firend out with a similar install (B6 IC) a few weeks ago and we ran into the same thing. Although he hasn't started it yet, he has done the same thing.. I ran it by one of the local shops and he claimed they do the same thiing. The valve is like a dampening valved, or at least that is what he told me. From what I have seen, it looks to be an electronic air bypass (read that in one of the manuals).

Let us know how that turns out.
