What is this/do i need it?
i know where it goes and what that is for, but is it an important element to the brake booster vac system? can i just replace it with a hose if its not?
thanks

It's a check valve.
If you like stopping reliably, you need it.
The rest of us, that have to share the road with you and whose lives depend on your ability to stop, would appreciate it if it was there.

it is actually a filter to keep fuel vapor from the booster you only really need it on carb cars.
