FPR Hose?

[Brique]

So, I just replaced my PCV valve (great improvement after doing so) and while i was in the process of doing this I found that the vacuum hose going to the pcv valve as well as the hose immediately above it, the one that goes into the intake silencer were both brittle and cracking a bit and needed to be replaced. Stealership hooked me up with both hoses, or so I thought. PCV hose was a perfect match, but the other hose was, well I have no idea what that one is for but is sure as hell isn't the right one.

So, after this and some other mishaps I've pretty much given up on getting reliable parts information from my local dealership. I turned to this forum and some other resources and I've been able to determine that my best guess is that the hose I'm looking for is the air hose from the fuel pressure regulator, but for the life of me I can't find it or a part number for it online. I've already searched this forum as well as elsewhere.

Can anybody help me out on this? Am I understanding which hose this is correctly and can anyone help me out on the part number or on where to find the part number?

Bump. I'd like to know as well, mine is starting to crack.

You could just replace it with regular vacuum line hose? I don't remember it being shaped or customized to the 5vz. The FPR vacuum line doesn't do much on the 5vz, its just a clean source of air for the FPR. Originally the FPR used vacuum to to increase fuel pressure but I found that there is never enough vacuum in the air intake box to increase fuel pressure it just provides clean air for the FPR diaphragm. I had a fuel pressure gauge hooked up and I tested many variations, including taping it to the hood and driving around. Seems like it was just carried over from previous designs. Don't sweat the hose.

good luck
