There is a vacuum diaphragm mounted on top of the inlet tubes, I assume it is some kind of pressure dump valve for the supercharger when not running under heavy boost to increase low speed mileage and driveability. Is this correct?
Anyway, the nipple on the diaphragm has no vacuum hose connected to it. Is this normal? I can't seem to locate any loose hose or anything around it that even appears like it should be connected to it. Plus the nipple is coming off the diaphragnm at and angle, instead of straight...is this normal?
The car runs fine and I can't seem to tell that anything is wrong, so I am lead to believe this may be normal, but I can't imagine how or why a vacuum diaphragm would work with no vacuum connected to it.
Can someone explain?
Thanks.
