[Mk2] [Turbo] Is this a vacuum tank, and do I need it?

I'm thinking this is the vacuum storage tank, am I right?

I've gone and broke it, whatever it is, do I need to find a replacement?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Do I need a vacuum tank?

So I managed to snap one of the connectors on my vacuum tank, I've heard some folks just ditch it and run a pipe in its place which I'm tempted to do, will this make the car bog down at low rpm?
