Need a line part identified R56

Anyone know the name of the line that connects from top forward right side (facing driver from front view). This line has a unique clip to the engine and loops over the air intake line then drops down to connect to the fire wall.
I had leak in this line a few years back and another one is going to happen soon due to friction from my cold air intake duct connected to hood. I have a fully functional hood scoop. Originally purchased from Way Motor Works.
It was replaced by warranty so I don't know the part.
I may have to cut and modify the line to go under the hose.
Thanks for any help.

Possibly have a picture of what you are talking about?

I think he's talking about the line that's running from the vacuum pump. That would be the hose / line that splits the difference between the two hoses that run to and from my catch can - using a picture of my engine for ease of use (please forgive the tools, dust and image quality LOL).

Trying to find the part on realoem, but having trouble locating the line. It's conveniently not pictured with the vacuum pump...

Assuming that my assumptions above were correct, you'll find the part that you need connected to the brake servo unit.



Part 10 or 11 (depending on your car) at RealOEM

Edit - Couldn't find a price for it, but maybe if that's the part you need, you can take it from there, or ask your local shop to find a price for you. Good luck. Time for dinner.

nskripsky, Many thanks for the info. You nailed it. What I need to do is try and modify the #10 line so I make it run "under" and not over the air intake and other smaller lines.
I need to figure out what will tap the line and let me remove maybe 12 inches and use some standard tubing with same internal diameter. A work in progress.

Yes, great find , that is the part. -3/2010 production.

Its a hard line plastic so if you are going to get a new one you are ok. If you are going to modify it, the material would have to be hard plastic so it will not collapse. Possible you could to another of the same line, use the existing and try to make another bend.

Anyway, good luck and I hope your mod works.
