Broken check valve from intake

Hey guys just wanted to share my story so it doesn't happen to you. I have a VWR intake that came with that car. The other week my car was idling funny and it turned out to be a broken check valve on the brake booster line because my intake was constantly hitting it without my knowledge. As of right now the part is on back order for 2 weeks nationwide! I'll upload a picture as soon as I get on a computer.

I took this picture when I first got the car and you can see the check valve touching the intake.

The APR intake used with the stage 3 kit does the same thing. HS Tuning trimmed down the line on mine so it has some space. Definitely worth the peace of mind!

Broke mine too, accident, CAI not the culprit, modified my original with a metal fitting for an air pump, no vacuum leak☺
