6mt charge pipe

just an fyi for people looking to replace their charge pipe: i started working on my fmic/charge pipe install and it seems the 6mt has the same charge pipe as the automatic. both the er and vrsf websites (and their dealers) require you to indicate if you have either automatic or 6mt. my guess is that on other n55 equipped cars, auto and 6mt have different charge pipes. so if you pick 6mt for your 6mt m2, you get one without the connection to the vacuum line. however the 6mt m2 does indeed have that connection (at least for my17), so could be better to order the charge pipe for automatic instead. anyone with a my16 have the same issue?

Can you take a picture of your chargepipe installed so we can clear up the confusion?

here's the stock charge pipe. i couldn't install any new charge pipe since the one i have doesn't have the vacuum line connection.

right - but you still have to select manual or auto on your site as well. can you verify that if one orders a manual transmission part number that you also get the vacuum line connection? According to ER's instructions, the difference between auto and manual is that only the auto has the vacuum line - which very well could be true for other N55 equipped cars, just not the m2?
