well, you should all BE CARFUL tho!
just the other day i got a connector from home depot, a brass connector just the right size to push the two hoses onto... things went fine for about a week, then the other night one of the hoses broke right at the edge of the connector, dunno if its cus its old, or it had more stress in that position, or what. (then i overheated my car not realizing how much coolant i lost, but thats another story and another lesson leanred)
so anyway, even connecting one hose to both inlet and outlet places could be bad.. as was said furher up "its a tight u bend" so.. be careful!

Can I reroute without taking off my TB?
or is there not enough room to do that? I figured that when I change my spark plugs this weekend I could go ahead and do this quick mod also.
I just wish I had the SR-CAI at the same time

yes you can
i did two days ago
you can reroute one hose itself on the engine side
and reroute the other hose itself on the TB.
i removed the intake hose...
there is enough room to reroute using only your hands and a plyer.
