The hose that comes off of the circle thing ...... I kinda snapped the connector pipe off of the inlet manifold what does it do and can it be sorted without buying a new manifold ????

Vacuum to fpr is needed buy a tee and cut it into one of the other vacuum pipes off the manifold and then where u snapped the nipple off drill and tap it out then get some jb weld and use the jb as a sealent and thread the bolt into the manifold

get some 4mm silicone hose as your original stuff will be perished.

sorry to hijack the thread but iv been looking at upgrading my hoses as well, how much 4mmtubing would be required for a AGU engine.

it depends what you got, if you got a boost guage then get about 3m if not then about 1m should suffice..

It was the hose with the braided bit wrapped around it which goes to the tiny nipple things under the manifold ...... Luckily there was a auq manifold local and the scrappy kindly let me take it for free aslong as i fixed there alarm, 2 fuses and a new battery 5 mins of my time for being heavy handed in the first place lol so not to bad now ive just got to re polish this 1 but its seriously pooped so i might get some one to do it. Cheers for your help though people !!
