Why not replace it with something better?
Autozone and lots of other places have a nice 45 degree elbow kit, and you can buy the vaccum line kit for it.
Only reason I bring this up is, the OEM one has a nasty habit of tearing.
A lot.
I had about 4 or 5 of them before I got my current setup.
You may have to look for the aluminum version of the elbow, they have it at pep boys, and have any vaccum lines done as brass fittings into it, but it's still a much better choice.
Let me know if you need some links to what Im talking about.

I need the OEM fitting for just the time being. I ordered good 45 degree silicone one. I just need the OEM to hold me over until I get the other one. I checked around at Autozone and Pepboys, and they are rather clueless as to what I'm talking about. The OEM one ripped under 18psi of boost.
