my IM fell and landed right on the vacuum line for the brake booster.. its slightly krimped, but I already ported and painted this IM for my d series build (meaning I dont want to do this again). So bend it back and be solid?

Really?

That's shitty. I'd really think about bending it back, but I'm not very sure how sturdy the metal is. In the picture it seems fairly weak (And I'm assuming so, since you dropped something on it, and it bent). You might have better luck heating the joint, and bending it slowly. Or try and find some goofy adapter, so you don't have to bend it back, but can hook up the lines.
However, that's a damn shame. I hate when things like this happen.

I know man tell me about it. I go through all the trouble of doing it right the first time and might have to start over... lol. I'm going to heat it up and take it from there, thanks for the input

Lol Its fine as long as it aint kinked, its just air getting sucked thru

It should be ok, I would leave it alone.

Should be ok, if you have power brakes when you install it you're good, if not worry about it then.

You could grind the thing off, drill it out and tap it to put a barb fitting in.

Maybe try heating it up and bending it back as best you can, That goes to the brake booster so make sure when its put together and your car is at idle, that the brake pedal feels normal.

no need to drill, if you wanted that peice can be removed, use some pliers and twist, itll come right out... op, im not sure if honda sells that peice alone, but its worth a shot? if they do i would assume it wouldnt cost a fortune.
