Default PLEEEEASE tell me this piece isn't important...

... because I just snapped it in two by accident, lol. It looks like some sort of vacuum line, but a real small one. It comes from a tube that has anothe rone next to it (a green one.) The green one went to the EGR and the red one connected to the upper intake manifold. Well it just snapped in half so I'm hoping it wasnt important. Because if it was I have no idea how to fix it, lol.

I'm hoping it's EGR related (i'm removing that anyway) and I'm hoping I can just cap it off.

So, does anyone know what this is?

The red one? My FPR vacume line is red....Just get a peice of vacume hose that will fit over it tightly and put them back together.

Like a butt end connector

Sorry. I really don't have a better pic of it from before everything was ripped out. It's a hose / tube that connects just behind the elbow in the upper intake manifold. I was hoping that someone else (possibly with an SN95) would recognize it, or maybe even take a look at their own and see what it does.

LoL, I know it probably served a purpose originally, but I was wondering if it is something that could be deleted. Many vac lines have been changed, especialyl since I supercharged the engine. And if this is EGR related, then it definately can be capped off.
