RE: Boost hose thingy (91 200Q)

... it could be a damper to prevent pressure spikes from damaging the
pressure sender.  I've never seen one myself, but then I've never had
the chance to tear open a '91 200q.  I'd expect the small diameter hose
would do enough to dampen any quick pressure spikes ...

HTH!
