So my car is running like crap, mostly because of a large boost leak due to a cracked (read split in half) check valve. So I go to the dealer yesterday and order the part since they don't have it on hand. I get the call that the part is in and spend over an hour haggling with traffic getting to and from the dealer.
Once home I go to install the thing and it doesn't fit at all... It looks similar, but all the connections are twice the size of the hoses in my car, and there are too many of them... ARGH...
FWIW, the part they gave me is 171-611-933 and it looks like this:

I have a feeling this part serves a similar function but for a different car. I have a 2002 6spd, and my broken valve is located under the upper right engine cover next to the Y-pipe. Its pretty much underneath the little PCV nub sticking out of the Y-pipe. Can any EKTA wizwards out there lend a helping hand to find me the right part number!
Thanks all!

I just got it all back together and it feels like a new car.
Man, those little crimp style clamps absolutely suck to get off... And my crimper hardly fit in there to get them back on. Ugh, glad its over.
Thanks for all the help!
