   Hello,
   
   When i picked up the car it had one of these valves on it, i'm going to take it off but am unsure what i need to do with the brake servio? Can i replace this pipe or patch up the cut in it? if i can replace the servio where do i get a replacement?
   
   Cheers

   Bleeding un metered air into the plenum will not give a richer mixture and WTF is vacuum lag LOL.
   
   Re the pipe mate just get another from scrappy not worth joining incase it comes apart and you lose the power assistance to your brakes. Should not cost a lot. You dont need to change the servo itself.
