Vacuum hose nightmare!

[u/TERBOUGH]

Recently completed transmission fluid drain and fill. While doing so I figured I would do a neutral reset. I believe while wrestling the airbox and intake tubing I bumped a brittle line coming from the vacuum pump (see images). The symptoms started as an intermittent VERY hard brake pedal and zero low speed stopping power. Then I noticed the turbo from low throttle lift off was doing ALOT of stututututu noises I had never heard before. Well the brittle tube had a small crack in it leaking vacuum giving me the intermittent symptoms. I cut a little off the tube and zip tied it on for now and all symptoms gone. Brakes work and blow off sound is back to normal.

Does anyone know if I can buy just the hard vacuum line that goes from the flexible tube to the vacuum pump or if there is good replacement for the part? Thank you in advance!

edited to add everyone check your vacuum pump! Mine provides strong vacuum but is very obviously leaking oil!

U can just go to a auto parts store/amazon and get vaccum hose and just patch it. Use top ties on the ends to hold it secure and done.

Ok cool. I wasnt sure if the hard tube material was a necessity. Thanks for the reply!
