Supercharger intake hose

Hey guys. I have my engine ripped apart for a cylinder head replacement. Getting the rmw head with the cam and much more. Not the point. I was installing the intake manifold with the side horn and bypass valve installed. Pushed down on the side with the side horn for the bypass to fit into its hose but than I heard a loud snap. Put the mini into front end service mode and found the intake hose for the supercharger at the bolt where it screws into towards the engine (i don’t remember exactly where it screws into) but that plastic circle that you put the screw in broke and now it’s loose. Just wondering what would happen if I don’t replace that hose? Is it drivable? Will it throw a check engine light? Thanks

Not entirely sure what you're talking about, but is it this mounting tab?



Also,
if you haven't blown your budget, might be worth getting one of these to go along with your upgrades:
