HELP!
I need to know where in the hell I can get this part or any ideas on how to fix it. It has a split down part of the bigger opening and is cracked in a couple of places. It goes to the boost gauge. A plastic tube goes from the boost gauge into the engine compartment and connects to this part by inserting into the smaller end. The other part goes onto a brass T-fitting that I installed into a vacuum hose. Jen helped my cap off the T-fitting for right now but I have to be careful not to get on the boost because I do not want it to pop off. :(

Your best bet would be checking the junkyard or asking eBay members to take one out of their car (if they are selling it in parts)

You should be able to buy a pack of these fittings at your local auto store. When I was installing my boost gauge that is where I got some extra fittings, in fact I may have one laying around.

Thanks everyone for the info. I got it fixed with some extra parts I had in the garage late last night into the morning. The real fun was when the part poped off we were over at the Wal-Mart by Jordan Creek. My store was closed so there was no driving over to Best Buy and pulling it into the bay to work on it. So I pulled under one of the big lights in the Wal-Mart lot and diagnosed the issue. I determined I needed a Flash light and we ran into the store. Jen grabbed her things and I mine, met up at the checkouts before we raced to Lowes. We got to Lowes with about 10 min to spare before they closed. I got a simple little rubber cap in the hardware department and a small hose clamp to cap off the vacuum line till I could get home. It was fun before that sitting at a light with the car's idle jumping from 800 rpms to just over 2k. People next to me must of thought I wanted to constantly race. The car runs better than it has recently so I assume by looking at the connector the car has been leaking boost for a while. No codes the whole time though. I also have to thank Jen, she was a real trooper the whole time. Her nursing skills came in real handy while I did surgery out in the Wal-Mart and Lowe's parking lots on my car.
