What hose is this? --- it fixed my idle
What is the vacuum hose right next to the oil check for? My car started idling rougher than normal so a friend checked it out and saw that the hose had came off. He put it on and BAM, a nice smooth idle. Well today on the highway i decided to get on it and the car kinda hesitated in the upper rpms. I popped the hood and saw that the hose had come off again. I hooked it on, got on it and no hesitation, however, later today i checked and the hose had come off again. What should i use to keep it on there?

Are you talking about this one?
If so, that's the one that goes to the fuel pressure regulator and if you keep driving with that off at WOT, you'll run lean and it could cause engine failure.

Could this also caused me to overboost? I had to lower my psi on my MBC to stop my car from overboosting. Im going to drive my car tomorrow morning and see if this was the cause of my troubles all along. Im so happy right now

Damn...these pattern failures are both humorous and predictable. I don't recall any posts about this before, but then all of a sudden, BAM! three of four guys talking about it..add me to the list mine came off a couple of days ago. might be the hot weather/ ambient temps creating a good condition to blow it off.
it boosts irregularly and cuts out at peak tq.
