Default F'in accordian hose, I just pressure tested my car (Homebrew Stage III) and there is a hole cut in
the accordian hose and there was a hose in the hole. I think its off the spider valve/hose but the damn thing will not go back in the hole because of the taper and design of the hose.

Ideas to get it back in or what it does. BTW I found a big screaming boost leak at 15 psi from a lower intercooler hose clamp.

Default I usually put a drop of motor oil on my finger and lube the rubber grommet
and the taper of the hose. then I force it and it always goes.

Default hose connects to the brake booster. not sure why it connects to the accordian. i'm sure
the answers in the archives. A-box (MY2000) cars don't have this. not sure on H-box 2001's.
