what part is this?
Improper mounts on the intake caused this part to hit my belt and develop this hole... ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
this is not normally where the part is, its normally back behind the intake. but for the sake of the picture...

I am not positive what that item specifically is.....but since no one has responded yet....
I looks very much like an engine vacuum check valve. If its not a check valve, it still looks like vacuum to me.
In which case, a hole in it like that would be bad since vacuum systems need to be sealed to work properly.
I would try running the engine and put your finger over the hole to see if you hear/feel air trying to enter or exit the hole.

Yea - I was thinking it could be some sort of vacuum. My car has been running great and the intake has made a huge change. Maybe i'll notice even more when I figure this out and get it fixed

DoobyWho,
Sorry about that. I thought it was the Rotart Extreme box. On that one, you would have had to remove the part in question. And I thought it was longer than in your pic. I checked mine and nope it's the same thing.
So I could have helped out earlier, but missed the oppertunity to lower your stress level.
Sorry about that. Can't tell where you live, but if you're at all close to Indy, I have one sitting in a box if you need it until your's arrives.
Glad you got i figured out on your own.
By the way, on all the parts I;ve ordered, they have an overnight option for an additional 10%. I beleive that's a Mazda ordering thing. So it should be available to you as well. Perhapse for future parts.
