throttle body coolant mod

So a friend took off my UIM and throttlebody on my FD, and today I bypassed the coolant. but after putting the UIM back on I noticed something that looked wrong. There are three coolant hardlines just below the throttlebody that go around the oil filter and down. the one in the middle did not have a line attached to it. where does this line go? I can provide pics in a little bit if my explanation is unclear.
Also if you need a description of the car its a single turbo fd, PS/AC removed as well

Thanks
Josh

Sounds like your referring to the now unused coolant (return) hard line for the throttle-body. Here's a picture that might make things more clear.....



Most block off the line at the back of the thermostat housing and again at the rear iron. Others, like myself, just looped it from those two points (bypassing the t-body)and use it for an aftermarket water-temp sensor placement. If it hasn't been done already you can also remove the hose nipple at the throttle body for a cleaner look.
