I dont think that hose is normal....Their would only be a open pipe for automatics and a blocked pipe if I recall. Their shouldnt be a hose that is just laying their. Looks to me like it might be the hose to the EGR solenoid. It is the first one on the rack and might cause a lumpy idle. Not sure if it would cause the turbos to just cut out.

Hmmm, I guess the resolution on my minotir was way too high. It looked like a metal pipe, but zooming in I guess it could be an actual hose.

Fixed my problem - was the hose to the damn MAP sensor, must have had some restriction due to the routing, but it's back to normal now!



How pumped am I???



Anyway, I'm still a bit curious about that nipple. I don't see a loose hose, but I do see a suspicious open nipple.



What's my best chance at figuring out if that's normal or not??



Thanks,

Mike

That is normal. What dadel GT said was correct.





this is what your talking about correct? I wondered the same thing when i did my first hose job.

Vindication! :p: Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

Glad to hear - thanks guys!!
