I was installing my smooth intake tube from razor's edge and I dropped the small grommet for the vacuum line into the engine compartment and could not find it! Can I drive while I get a new one?

 

You will be allowing unfiltered(and unmetered) air into the eng. Can't you jury-rig something else(tape, piece of vacuum hose, etc.) to fit the hole until you can get a grommet? I guess, driving it just a few miles won't hurt it but I'd be careful(slow).

Duct tape it is! I should have thought of that myself. Thanks.

 

the real mans tool!! DUCT TAPE

 

That air doesn't go into the engine, it goes into the top of the boost bypass valve canister. I don't even know why it is there. The only thing it does is allow filtered air to travel in and out of the diaphram housing. Could probably run without it for a long time before it fills up with dirt
