Throttle Body Coolant Reroute

2003 Mazda Protege5
Has someone has done the coolant reroute on the throttle body for the coolant feed on the turbo? I have a few questions

Not for turbo but on my NA I did because I don't live in snow belt and have no reason for the TB to get heated by coolant........................
 
Pulled hoses off TB and connected both far ends with single section of hose bypassing the TB and just capped open nipple ends on both sides of TB with vacuum caps. Flows same just not thru TB.

Do you happen to remember what size hose the TB used?
