What is this copper tube?
Iso Thermal and Copper Iso Thermal:
Iso Thermal and Copper Iso Thermal upgrades reduce heat transfer to substantially reduce upper and lower plenum temperatures. Cooler intake air temperatures increase air density and reduces the tendency for detonation or ping.
1) The first component is an Aramid thermal isolating gasket that is installed between the lower plenum and intake manifold. By installing a Motordyne Iso thermal Aramid gasket between the intake manifold and lower plenum, the heat soak is significantly reduced.
2) The second component is the throttle body Coolant Control Valve (CCV). The CCV allows you to selectively heat (or not heat) the plenum assembly. With local weather temperatures below 55'F the valve is left open. In warmer weather the valve can be closed for maximum thermal benefits.

Yea that's exactly what I thought, so right now during these hot summer days there is hot coolant warming up my throttle body making the air going in warmer.
I got a reply from ConceptZ saying my kit doesnt come with the valve.
This is the kit I ordered and in the picture there isn't a valve:

It's fine my kit didn't come with a valve I can just go buy one if I really have to, but it doesn't really make sense to me why it didn't come with one in the first place.

It's not warming the throttle body enough to worry about. The stock setup warms the entire upper plenum, that would actually warm the air. You are fine with the copper piece, nothing is missing and you're not losing performance.
