HELP SHOEBOX! Broke A.I.R. Diverter Valve

Ok when i stated i broke my EGR earlier i was on crack (j/k) i meant my A.I.R. Diverter Valve on the passenger side. The part that broke was the metal tubing that runs into the exaust manifold. I need to order the new one ASAP, do you or anyone else know the part number. Also, is there any kind of Temp fix for this till the part comes in ?

The first design is like the pic with the loop that comes back on itself. It doesn't come with the check (diverter) valve.

The second design looks more like the driver's side.

Ok great, mine has that loop. I ordered the piping with the part number you supplied me with. Do you recomend i buy a new diverter valve too? I really appreciate all your help, this isnt the first jam youve helped me out of.

No need for a new valve if the one you have is working.

It is a check valve that allows air to go in the direction of the manifold, but keeps the exhaust from going in the direction of the AIR pump. When the valve fails you will know, because the rubber elbow hose will melt from the hot exhaust gases.

Yep, the hose will melt, and also the diverter valve might change color, almost to purple. Mine just did this last week.

Darn. You could have sold parts to AENIMA95z28.
