i put a big lug nut in the hose.

also, if your car stalls after you blocked it up, start in 1st, then put it into n when its started up.

I drilled a hole in the back of the elbow and welded on a little bit of tubing so that I could still connect my air bypass hose. I didn't want any trouble from the smog folks. Worked very well.

You can get HELP! brand black rubber water hose caps from the auto parts store that work great. I think the size is 1/2" or 5/8" (can't remember which). Put a hose clamp on there to hold it in place.
