Earlier i broke the diaphragm damper on the fuel pump for my e16se engine. Does it really matter if i dont replace it or should i try and source a new one?

you should replace it, but it will run without one.

All it is there for is to smooth the fuel pulse from the pump! Ive ran mines without them no probs :thumb:

Have a couple spare if you want to replace it????
