Default stupid enough, cut the wrong hose for my boost gauge!!

I am so stupid and cut the wrong one!! After the installation, I went for a ran and the needle sit at zero!!
double check and found out I got the wrong vacuum hose!!
I haven't drive it after I back home from the spin... will that harm my engine or the boost gauge?!

*I grabbed this pic from the thread of roadyTT (from audiworld.com) thanks!!

thats just for the egr. i ran for who knows how long while mine was torn. You will just have slow warmups (really slow) until you get a new line for it. No biggy

Just splice it back together with a plastic hose barb, you can get them at pretty much any autoparts store. No need to actually replace the line.

Same as what should have come with your boost gauge, but a straight instead of a "T"

The line is only like 8-10" and all easy to access both sides. Its better to replace the rubber hose with woven cover with silicone than to just patch it back together.

Thanks! I cut the wrong hose near the open end, so it still long enough to plug it back to egr...
