Default it goes to the bpv....

let me guess, it dried out in the area where it goes next to the engine?? happened to mine the day i bought the car (used).

The bpv won't function without it, so no hard shifts under turbo.

If you are under warranty I'm sure it is covered, if not, the hose should be like $10-$11 at the dealer.

Default so this probably isn't a big problem because my turbo doesn't work anyway.

Right?

Default Yikes better replace it fast.. vaccum line connected to a valve with 3 nipples right?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/7171/dscn1546.jpg"></center><p>Here's a pic.. Altho on a stock k03 turbo one nipple will be attached into the intake. Uh.. turbo plugs into the bottom of the boost frequency valve. Make sure and zip tie your lines, fan is really close there..
I just changed my vaccum hoses on the valve to isolate a problem I was having.

Wait.. explain which hose?? the big one going to the airbox then turbo? take note I move my valve over behind the headlight. Yours will be near the turbo.

Default I assume he means the vac line that goes from the intake manifold

to the bpv. The one that is rubber with braided nylon on the ouside.

No, thats not it. This goes from the BPV to the intake. I'm concerned that this will make my engine run rich since it will not be putting the air back into the system.
