Broken Vaccum Line

[LBC_Shadow]

I broke the vacuum like from my turbo inlet to my engine or where ever that small vacuum line goes on the back side near the turbo and i was wondering if that part is something i buy or do i buy vacuum line and cut a new one at the same length...?

That line goes to your EBCS. You're probably going to break the nipple on the EBCS when you try and connect a new line to it, so be super careful. The plastic nipple is shitty and brittle. You can just buy vacuum line and cut it to length though.

So i have replaced this and the issue is still present. Anyone in Sacramento, CA that can help me check for a boost leak?

What issue are you trying to solve? All you said is that you have a busted vacuum line.

Sorry must have been a different thread.

When my car is on more than half throttle it will even out whatever RPM it is at and start to buck, almost like its hitting the fuel cut-off. This happens in 1st at 5k happens in 3rd at 2k, gear and RPM do not matter. Originally I thought it was this boost line but that was not the case. No engine codes are thrown. Was running stage0-1-2 all have same issue with 2 being the least bad of the 3. New spark plugs and ignition coils gapped to .028. I am out of Ideas after my O2 sensor tomorrow so throw those suggestions into the ring!

what is your boost level ? are you boosting above boost cut setpoint because the vaccuum line is'nt sending air to wastegate ? if it would be the vaccuum on the other side of your EBCS, it would overboost. Or is your turbo pill hole blocked and there is no air coming from there to fill the wastegate to open ?

you need to list your mods and a best is a datalog
