coolant lines... err

[chicagoboostin]

ok so as i ws putting my turbo on everything was awesome... all went together..
then i look over at the thermostat hosuing and on the lower portion of it theres a plasticbolt with 2 feeds comming out of it.. one broke..\

so i was wondering what is that part called and where do those two lines go to? maybe i can get away with blocking it off?

Two "feeds"....like vacuum lines? It sounds like the thermal vacuum switch. Here is a picture of it. It controls the EGR valve.

Here is a picture of it. Not the greatest, but I wasn't going to disassemble my car right before lunch hour. The hose on the right is the upper radiator hose.

The second picture is the vacuum diagram off of my 94 in case you don't have one still under your hood.

Yes, aka thermal vacuum valve. If they're open and one of them is broken, the previous owner probably did the vacuum line removal mod and accidentally snapped one trying to remove the vacuum line. (I did the same thing ) Just follow this diagram and make sure the rest was done correctly.

If you want to replace it with a new one i think we sell them at Advance Auto Parts. I had one brake on mine and i replaced it.
