Need help!~ with bypass valve boost actuator

So, my buddy and I changed the coupler in my supercharger (99 gtp), with the green zzp one, along with the oil. The car stalled at the end of the block and at the time we couldn't tell what was wrong with it...so i got AAA to tow it at 2am. But it's been a couple of weeks and i found out that the vacuum line coming off the bypass valve is broken, specifically the plastic tip that the rubber tubing connects to.

Anyways i just received a new Bypass Actuator, that i bought from zzp. But, this one they sent me looks kinda different from the one under my hood. :confused:

the unit they sent me has the plastic heads pointing the same way, but my old one they were pointing different ways. as a result, the tubing doesnt reach anymore...what should i be doing to get it to fit correctly? is there somewhere i can buy the same rubber tubing? any suggestions at all!
 


makes sense, do you know where i could buy the same size (diameter) of vacuum hose? i live in michigan, detroit area.
 


thnx for the replies everyone, i got the actuator installed, with new lines...and discovered a ripped vacuum line (under the blower snout?) .so i think thats what was causing the car to stall even after i installed the new actuator. Got new vacuum line from autozone, ready to install, but the T shaped link (that connects the lines) broke off fairly quickly as i was pulling on it. why in god's name are all these parts plastic?! i mean, at least reinforce the INSIDE of the T's with metal... :( god, i just want to get my car running again!
 
lol they broke that same t when they did my recall and said "oh we didnt touch that its not in the way of the valve cover" i was like wtf so why is my boost not working? it was working before i dropped the car off!!!! so i ordered a new line for 30ish and left smoke all in the shop lol they fired the tech like the next week because he had to many complaints(i didnt want him to get fired just wanted my car fixed)
 
how the hell do I get this thing off...holding up my whole sc rebuild lol I disconnected bolts holding the bracket but the rod connection is puzzling me
 
Once you have all the bolts off, pull the lever all the up and over to the right (like its upside down now). The slots on the lever and actuator will line up and you can slide it out now.
