Well, that might happen anyway.....

Sunday, while tring to replace the boost pressure control hose on the
turbo, I removed the several other pieces of hardware for better access.
One such piece, the breather hose, went "SNAP" at the valve cover
end....busted off flush at the gromet while tring to remove it.  Oh s**t.

I can account for all (well, almsost all) of the plastic, so I'm pretty
confident none went down the breather hole, but short of removing the valve
cover (and now, part of the intake manifold), any tricks to getting this
plastic out?

Also, aside from running rough, will I do any real damage leaving the hose
"disconnected" at the valve cover?  No real amount of driving, just jocking
it around so I can get another vehicle out of the garage.

Thanks,
