Hi

Excuse my ignorance but does anyone know what this pipe is for.

I have circled the pipe in question.

Cheers

havent got a clue m8..but gotta say thats one nice clean looking engine/bay ya got

[stewfo]

Cheers m8 but unfortunatly not my engine bay.

The reason i am asking is because i recently fitted a strutbrace and in my mechanical ignorance disconnected the pipe in question. Now this may sound stupid but afetr refitting the pipe the car now spools quicker and pulls alot better through the rev range.

And i dont think i am imagining this either as my mate noticed the difference as well.

cheers

That pipe is for cable tie-ing the hose for my boost gauge!

Air con? Trace it back and see if it goes to the compressor, or is it the vacuum supply for the brake servo?

It is the vacuum supply for the brakes. You can uprate this hose with a samco jobbie but you have to remove the little non return valve that is in it making sure you have it the right way round or else it's tatties when you try and brake.

cheers guys.

Marc is right ( I wonder how he found that one out, must keep some info to myself)

it is the vacuum supply to the brakes. If it stays disconnected, you'll see an "interesting" change in braking power ie, no assistance!
