Ingo, you should plug top of the ribbed hose from the igloo on one side, 
and hose into throttle body on the other, with one end valved. Most 
suspect components are in that chain. Have seen several places selling 
those, mostly for RS2. Brewing industry supplier should carry that size 
plugs in various materials.
