You can get either a 3-foot long section of 3/8" OD hose, or a 3-foot long section of 1/4" ID fuel hose.

Run the hose from the banjo bolt to the end of the mbc. Connect the 1/4" line to the front of the mbc, connect it straight to the wastegate. Plug that hard metal line that the line from the banjo bolt used to connect to, and plug the line going from the cv to the wasegate. Use a bolt and some clamps to plug the lines.

Is it neccessary to unplug the electrical connectors going into the cv when bypassing the cv?
