So I'm in the process taking off the intercooler, air pump, UIM,etc to replace all the coolant and vacuum lines, PD, clean injectors and in the process of removing the parts I literally touched some electrical connectors and they fell apart! It looks like heat made the connectors very brittle and so they broke/disentigrated at a touch.

The problem is now the connection is exposed and there's nothing to help retention.

Anyone got a fix for these connectors or do I have to spend MUCHO DENERO for a new wiring harness??!?!? Should I just e-tape them and hope they stay and not leak?

FWIW, I'm pretty good at sodering or reconnecting wires (used to do car audio work) so I did think about swapping connectors but where do I buy them from? Does Frys/Radio Shack have them? Thanks.

Which connectors?

The injector connectors are standard Bosch style connectors available at any auto parts store.

Most of the other multi terminal spade connectors are available from Molex, and at auto parts stores as well.

I'll get pics by tomorrow but they're the connectors next to the piping from the intercooler to the turbo above the air pump and next to the ACV.

Right now I've broken a couple of them but I anticipate that more will be broken as I wiggle around in ther removing stuff.

Here are the pics of the connectors: If you know of any replacement part number please post it!

Otherwise I'll take Aaron's suggestion and hit the autoparts store this weekend to see if they have them.
