Need some help...
Hey guys, I managed to break off what I assume is some sort of air flow sensor or vacuum line? Really not sure. Anyway can you tell me what it is and if I would be safe gluing it back into place for now until I can get it replaced? I can't tell but hopefully it's just threaded into the intake pipe and not molded in. Thanks in advance. Oh, don't ask how I broke it, I'm pissed enough as it is!

Go get yourself a lil thing of crazy glue and paste it back on. Since its before the turbo it would only be under negetive pressure
Hopefully it won't pop back off.

Thats a boost controller bleed-off hose. Not that important. You can just tap the plastic and screw some 1/8NPT nipple there or just get a new intake pipe like SAMCO or Perrin.
For the mean time, try to plug the intake pipe hole with something as your car will get inaccurate MAF readings. You can leave the boost controller bleed-off hose like that. It is an emmission thing mostly.
