ok drove 1.5 hrs to the closest audi dealership by my house...had to go to ATL for it. to buy a 25 dollar plastic valve lol...but i think it was worth it...the car isnt running yet but i think i made some pivotal progress today. i installed the new check valve and started the car....it turned over and stalled very quickly. atleast it TURNED OVER! AND STARTED even tho it stalled in a split second...so i started to look around the engine bay area and......

its a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE boost leak..i fixed the small visible one (check valve) but i got a bigger one that is going to be a problem getting to. It seems to be a big chubby black vacuum rubber hose under the intake manifold. It sits right under runner #2 and you can see it if u look in the gaps of the intake mani. It seems to be connected to a black box on one end and the other end goes to some bell shaped soleniod...imma take a big guess here that it might be the EGR valve and that is the egr hose. please correct me if im wrong...but yea DUE TO HEAT AND AGE AND WEAR, ......THAT THING HARDEN LIKE PLASTICS AND THE WHOLE THING HAS A COUPLE OF CRACKS EVERYWHERE...

how do i replace this since its pretty tough to get to. any tips? also what is is called so i can get the part. I need this car running!!!! thanks guys for all ur help..we are getting close to fixing this car...yay

i just want to get it started and running then gettin it running better is easy. here are some pics of it:

that pipe is well known for this problem, it seems your getting there so extreme good luck

edit: its a pig to install you might be better worming the pipe in hot water so its ply-able
