Spent all day with the g8 yesterday after receiving a bunch of things in the mail. I put in Jetttstream Radiator Hoses, a Volant CAI, Stainless Steel bolt kit (minus the intake bolts that are on backorder), and the Heater Hose relocation kit.
A quick note that I found out after talking to Mike at Jetttstream was if you put in the radiator hoses have some silicone spray handy. I first tried some WD-40 and couldn't get the lower hoses on all the way pushing with everything I had. On the top hose I used the silicone spray and it went on super easy without any effort.
To get to the bottom radiator hose you need to remove intake (I already had this off), drain the coolant, remove upper hose, unplug fan assembly, unsnap transcooler lines from fan assm, release tabs on fan and pull up.
The transcooler lines were the hardest part about taking out the fan. The driver side one had more give then the passenger side one and came out a lot easier. It take a couple of minutes of working at it to pop them off. Getting them on was harder.
I want to thank Charlie again for the answering some questions before I started.
Alright enough talk, pics!

Upper radiator hose. The blue lines are darker than what shows up in the picture. Not quite a match to the car, but close.

Alright now for where I need you help. I found some extra parts when I got done. The one on the left came from under the front passenger's seat while I was cleaning. The one on the right came from under the engine bay (this is the one I'm concerned about) and I can't find where it goes.
