Broke Vacuum T near airbox, need help.

MIL.SPEC · 06-16-2014, 04:53 PM

So, I was installing my Helix-esque/Mr 5 intake (have the performance pack, so no room for it down low) and broke the vacuum line nipple on the tubing that goes around the airbox.

Anyone know the part number for the tubing? The connector is on so tight, I don't think I can get it off without cutting the tube. Searched and couldn't find anything. Looked it up on Tischer, and couldn't find the part number either.

Thanks.

I guess u were trying to rotate the T junction out of the way of the intake tube? I have been trying to twist and rotate that thing myself but it won't budge... Was afraid of it breaking as in your case....... Was thinking about putting some heat on it but don't want to melt something. What's the best way to move that thing?
You could try a drill to get that piece out of the tube maybe?

You can find a tee like that at any ca parts store. Go to the section where they keep their vacuum hoses.

Need a whole new tube. It's not expensive. Check realoem.

I think you'd need to cut the tube to get it out. Turns out to be a brake vacuum tube...part # 11667570497
