FD problem need help! got pics

I am having a boost problem with my car so I was taking off my intakes so I could check the condition of all the couplers, the Y pipe etc. there was a hose that was connected to the Y pipe and it looked like it was broke like there was a filter or something. not sure what it is. plz look at the pics and let me know what it is and if that could be the cause of my boost problem.

That is the one way vavle for the pressure chamber, without it you will not have any secondary boost. Dale is a member on this forum, you can also buy one at your local mazda dealer.

If one is broke then many are brittle.
Why not change to vacuum hoses and the check valves and add ties at the same time, a little time and effort and less headache in the long run.

The charge relief valve is supposed to connect to the primary turbo inlet? or the secondary? My freind said I was hooking the hoses up backwards. Now I am not sure anymore. please help!
