Can anyone tell me what this braided hose is used for. Looks to be going from the turbo to somewhere on the back side of the motor. It had a hard black shell on it originally but now it is coming off. Does it harm anything if it comes off? Currently I'm getting a p0455 and a p171 error codes.

oil feed line
CURRENT MODS: SSAFC with superstock map, 3 inch turbo back Corksport Power Series exhaust (catless), VTCS/VICS delete, SRI, Ebay Cx racing FMIC and hard pipes, relocated MAF, VTA BOV, ATP wastegate , MBC @ 11.5 psi, rebuilt engine bored .020 over and forged
Awaiting Mods: Extreme Ported Intake Manifold, EGR delete (need a block off plate!), more to come...
i wouldnt recommend removing this line unless you want a huge paperweight
So what is or was the purpose of the hard plastic coding around the braided hose? As you see in the pic, the heat has taken its toll on the plastic and now it's starting to crumble to pieces. The car itself doesn't drive any different. Just trying to confirm that this doesn't have anything to do with my p0455/p0171 error code that I have.
Thanks for the reply.

he's asking more about does it matter the the black coating comes offOriginally Posted by got_psi
If at first it doesn't move, beat on it like a caveman till it does
Yeah I'm asking about the function more than removing. So with that being said is there a down side to not having the plastic coating on the line?

Mine is flaking off on my car as well, you don't need to worry. P0171 indicates a vacuum leak, P0455 is a leak in the EVAP system could be caused by a faulty gas cap.
