RE: What is this hose and how did it come loose?!?
So I brought my car to the performance shop that chipped it to get the hose fixed. Turns out the damn thing rotted out and broke when I was moving hoses around near the FPR to install the boost gauge tubing. The thing is, it must've been bad for some time now because after theyreplacedit I noticed an improvement in acceleration and braking.

Damn. Sometimes I think I was really born blonde... but dying my hair so much throughout the years has slowly caused my brain to deteriorate or something along those lines.... Lol

Yeah, *I* installed the gauge. While moving the hoses around near the FPR to get the vacuum lines in I inadvertantly pulled apart the rotted suction pump and it had to be replaced.

wasnt the boost gauge that they installed it was the line under the intake manifold, check out the pics at the beginning of the thread

Yeah I heard it from the wife.. "See? I told you not to go messing around with your car, etc. etc. bitch bitch..."
I tried explaining the two were unrelated, but it didn't go over very well.
whatever.
