Default Need Help!

i was under my car today and noticed a hose that was disconnected... this hose was from one of the intercoolers and is suppose to go into this plastic box that is on the back side of the actual blower... the angle is far too great for this hose thats disconnected to go into this box... so i must be missing like a rubber hose or something that comes out of the plastic box that is suppose to connect to that other line?? anyone know what im talking about?? its hard to explain.
well if anyone knows what im talking about can u tell me what i need and where i can get it?
also is it bad if i drive the car with this line disconnected??
thanks.

Probably help if you could post some pics and what type system you're using.

Sounds like you are talking about the last section of 90deg hose that goes from the bypass valve to the plastic inlet hat.
That is if you are talking about a Procharger setup.
You would never really know it was missing, due to the fact that it out of the loop when under boost.

As for the missing hose it is a performed hose for such a tight radius into the inlet hat. It is just a 90 1/1-2 hose

Caution with that hose missing you are drawing unfiltered air in to the blower. If you need to drive it I would at least cap it. Not a big problem for dumping the bypass valve.
