Idle Valve Routing
What is a good thing to do with the little hose that comes out of the TB for the idle valve? Hook it into the intercooler piping, or just put a filter on it?
I've got a filter on mine right now but it's pretty ghetto so I'm going to fix it this weekend.

I run a 3/4" hose from mine over to the fender and have a filter on it.
May be best to run it to the intercooler piping though for 2 reasons.
1. keeps air moving over the IAT sensor which should aid in preventing heatsoak.
2. MS knows the temp of the air being drawn in to your engine.
I wouldn't stick a filter on it right at the TB. It'll draw in warmer air there right off the radiator.
