novapat's suggestion of drilling out (and threading) the AFC housing port, so as to convert it all over to "Off-The-Shelf" plumbing is NOT bad advice. 
- It's nothing more than a tube that connects the intake-log to the AFC housing. It conducts air pressure.
Many folks do it as the dealer replacements are typically over the top in expense (IF still available).
IIRC, a couple of 1/8" NPT to 1/4" copper tubing adapters and 6" of 1/4" copper tubing works just as well as stock/OEM, and might cost $10.00 at Lowe's. (I use the 1/4" black plastic tubing instead of copper as I also run the W/M controller with that same boost signal. The plastic tubing is MUCH easier to work with and route).
