Vacuum line from SMIM to FPR
Well i removed my intake manifold tonight and i broke a plastic t fitting that was spliced into the vacuum line from my SMIM to the FPR. The third end was just vented. Is this supposed to be there? I know i was leaking air out of it when i did a boost leak test the other day.

Re: Vacuum line from SMIM to FPR
BTW why would the guy before me have done this? There must be some reason.

Re: Vacuum line from SMIM to FPR
maybe he ran a boost gauge off of it, and forgot to cap it off if he removed the gauge?

Re: Vacuum line from SMIM to FPR
Or it was capped and then it popped off under boost. Either way, just cap that bitch off or replace it with a new hose.
