Need some quick help

Im re-installing my tPI unit after porting it and I came across a part and I can remeber where it goes. Im sure it hooks into the plenum.......but what does the other end hook to. Im thinking it hooks into the tube coming of egr valve in the center of my lower intake. Here's a picture of the part

Thats because you broke the metal nipple off of the regulator housing (piece sticking out of the 90 degree conector in your picture)

Get an adjustable one while you're at it. You won't regret it.

if thats the vacuum nipple for the AFPR then if your very very carefull you can JB Weld it back on (I did it to mine) if its not, then you can also get a regular piece of vac line but youll have to go with a longer one and loop it so you dont kink it. I hate that plastic crap usually every time you move it, it will break on ya.

Ouch that sucks. Yeah use some JB weld and put it back on. Be careful, and dont get any inside the tube or inside where you're putting it back on. Should work.
