Default The little plastic cannister, by the battery!

Wtf is this thing, i can find nothing about it anywhere, maybe i am looking in the wrong places though. I did a venturi delete, and new vac lines, but when i pulled the hose off that thing the nipple snapped off. So when i finished puttin the car all back together at first i left the line open, and the car built boost, but didnt feel like it at all, then i put a bolt in the hole and it ran a little better but dosent pull away like it should. What is this little black bitch?

Vacuum canister. Bottom line, you need to fix the nipple on it or get a new one.

is it important? I never had it hooked up. I always figured you only needed it for the interior vents and whatnot which arent hooked up either.

The HVAC components are vacuum controlled, so the canister acts as a reserve while making boost. The one way valve off the brake booster line should lead in series to said canister. Should you decide to adjust your climate control while on boost, this canister would provide the vacuum to operate the flaps and solinods.
