Hi guys
Ive got an hq pano and i just swapped over the vacuum elbow valve thing that comes out of the booster and connects to the hose that runs off to the manifold. Anyway the barbed part that fits into the grommet snapped off and fell into the booster.....i swore a few times to say the least.
So is this bad? Is it gonna cause any issues or will it just float harmlessly around?

Most likely roll around in there for years with no issue

 

Unless its got jagged edges on it

Then it may perforate your diaphragm
