Default Turbo Vac Hose (from actuator)

Hi all

Ive had my car for a few weeks now and it kept boosting rather aggressively and then the engine management light would come on.

on deeper inspection i found one of the hoses had a screw inside it (picture attached)

now this would have needed to have been forced in as it wouldn't get in there n its own !!!!

i take it this screw is not suposed to be in this hose !!!!



Regards

Neo

Looks like someone removed / misplaced the restriction pill and tried to fix it by placing a screw inside the pipe instead.
