Source for Boost Sensor

I have a 1997 A6 Wagon. The nipple for the vacuum line on the "Boost Sensor" (part # 078 907 597) is broken. Any sources for a replacement part other than the dealer? Used is fine too.

I am not aware of a boost sensor. Do you have a pic??? Or a description??

If not can someone enlighten me. Maybe I have a mental block. When I hear boost, I think Turbo.

is that the part stuck on top of the air filter housing?

IIRC, mine was called a boost sensor but it's really associated with the EVAP system.

Brant or Chase sent me a used one from a car they were parting out. Plenty of used ones out there.

Thanks for the pic Dave. Too Lazy too look to see mine if it exists. To J-Rad

You now have your Part #, if the dealer is too pricey, try audifans or your local J-yard. And Thanks again Dave, I think it was you who taught me the flower on the camera. (Which I'm sure you used in this instance.
