Help with finding part numbers for vacuum connector under intake manifold
As the title says, under the intake manifold of my '83 there is a j shaped rubber connector with a leg splitting off of it that has a major tear in it that is causing enough a vacuum leak to bring my idle down to 600, I can't find what it is specifically called anywhere and the only one I can find on eBay is 99 dollars which seems a little ridiculous to me for a piece of hose smaller than the palm of my hand.
here's the piece of which I speak, does anyone know the part number on this or where I can get it for a price that's not obviously extortionary?
Fyi, instead of asking folk here to look things up each time you need a part, you can look up any part yourself online on the Porsche website <parts catalogue> (PET).
The part you need is # 944-110-177-00 (item 15) and it’s about $100, maybe a little cheaper if you search around but not by much as it’s a genuine Porsche part and there is no aftermarket one made.
Keep in mind that 944.110.177.00 is if you have air conditioning which I assume you do since you need the j-tube with a t in it. If you do not have AC, the part number is 944.110.177.01.
Cheapest place you will find it is at Sonnen. Cheaper than used and it will last another 40 years...

Dang that's crazy to me that its actually 100, I guess that's Porsche tax for ya. Also thank you for that resource I'm pretty new to the game despite having owned my car for 4 years now I'm just now starting to get into the muddy end of these waters. I guess I'll see what I can do about sealing the cracks with a silicone sealer to get me though until I have the spare money to spend on something that small. Thanks
A few years back I needed that piece for emissions check and made my own out of metal tube rather than pay the 100$... be easy enough to use copper elbows here.

There are plenty of recyclers out there who may be able to supply you with a good used part for a lot less than dealer list. Try asking George B at 944 Ecology.

This solution interests me greatly.... I do hvac work to feed myself and fund my Porsche problem so brazing fittings together is nothing new to me, just a couple of street 90s and a tee I'm guessing?
