    The little plastic tube broke and I need to get the whole thing. Looks like an air pump but not sure. I have a 2000 GTP. Please let me know what this is. I have vacuum leaks because of it. Thanks!

    Boost Bypass Valve is correct.

    HOLY RUST on your fuel rails!

    Thanks guys. Yup, I live in the land of salt and slush. I'll spray some rust check on the rails again this year. So far no fuel leaks. I check it often.

    Yeah I was going to say "Supercharger By-Pass Actuator". Its the part that opens/closes the flap in the throttle body that controls the boost pressure by alowing the air to stay in the S/C and be turned inyo boost, or let it be re-circulated by opening that flap. I have a picture that helps a lot on my photobucket.

    My car is idling up and down because the little plastic nib that the hose attaches to broke. I replaced the MAF a few months ago too. One thing I love is that these cars are pretty cheap to fix. I ordered a new valve/solenoid/actuator off Ebay this morning. As always, everyone in this community is awesome and helpful!
