I was reassembling my factory airbox (stock 94 R2), and I broke a small plastic fitting that is in the vacuum hose line running from the intake manifold to the air bypass valve. It's so damn small (1/4" dia.) I didn't know it existed until I broke it. It doesn't show up on the famous vacuum diagram pictures that I downloaded. It appears to be just a male-male coupling, unless it's a tiny check valve and the stopper fell out.

What is it exactly? Can I superglue it together or run a fresh piece of vacuum hose directly from the manifold to the air bypass valve? Should I replace it with the factory (fragile) part?

Suggestions, please, or a better description to help me search.

Can you find it here somwhere by the number?
see the pick I attached.

 

I just talked to Ray at Malloy. He said there is no such part - that somebody apparently inserted that connector in my vacuum line.

I'm going to superglue the **** out of it tonight to get it back together and then replace the whole line with single piece of Viton.

That's it superglue that socker together, I don't think you'll have any problems.

 

if it is in the blowoff valve vacuum sensing line that runs to the nipples on the side of the upper intake plenum, it sounds like the small reducer/in-line filter that a lot of the aftermarket blowoff valves come with. perhaps the previoius owner of the car had an aftermarket blowoff valve and returned it back to stock before he sold it to you, but forgot to change that line back to stock configuration. i really dont think it does much at all.

 

Just run a one piece hose, forget about gluing stuff together.
