    That is a 8mm vacuum hose and can be replaced with thick wall silicone vac hose. It wouldn't hurt to replace them all judging by the pic.

    Because most parts shops don't carry THICK walled silicone hose which can handle tight turns without restricted flow. You will find silicone hose kits online in black red and blue.

    Don't use the silicone kit hose to replace the brake booster vac hose.

    I believe it is the vacuum switching valve line. I think it is 23827A... the Toyota parts guy knows how to decipher it.

    The important thing is just don`t kink the hose long radius bends for non molded hoses .

    Some times you just can`t wait to get the correct hose.

    That particular hose is not for the brake booster. It’s just for the emissions canister

    I replaced that line with silicone from the kit. I have had some problems since replacing the line, too. Is the silicone hose too flimsy?

    The silicone hose wall is too thin and flexible to use for brake booster vacuum hose replacement, it's good for the other places, just not the brake booster. It will collapse under vacuum and cause brake fade or loss of braking.
