ARC TMIC Install question

Hi everyone!

I was working on installing the intercooler today, but I've run into a slight bit of confusion.

On the factory intercooler, there are two air lines that connect to intake.

On the ARC unit, these are no where to be seen. Are these to be blocked off? What are their significance? I've kept the factory unit on for now, but any help regarding this is greatly appreciated!

I have a turbo swapped convertible using the OEM TMIC. My nipples have always been capped (bow chicka bow-wow) and I couldn't tell you where the lines normally connected to those nipples source from or to.

One goes to the Air Bypass Solenoid Valve and the other to the Air Supply Valve. You can either plumb those two back into the TID or remove them. No big significance. They are part of the AWS system which many of us are not a fan of lol.
