Brake Booster Hose
 
I butchered the soft hose that connects the brake booster to the intake manifold. I've searched around a bit and can't seem to find a new one. Does this thing have a specific name? Any suggestions as to where to locate a new one? Thanks for the advise, and sorry for my noobness.

Have you tried the dealer?

If its the one with the check valve...its called "expensive"...I cut my valve in half during my BEGI install...go to dealer... 24 bucks I think

That's it... and that's exactly what I did to mine. Thanks for the tips, I try to avoid the dealer as much as possible but I guess I'll just have to give in this time.

any hose with a 1-way check valve will suffice.

Thanks! :bigtu: With a little luck, I may just get this thing running one day...

As stated, it needs to be big and it needs a good check valve. Most parts store check valves suck ass and restrict flow in one direction and almost seal in the other. A crappy valve will limit your brake boost.
