Trouble code p0171/p0174

I have these trouble two codes. As I am taking apart my MAF to clean it. I noticed a cracked tube down the line. I figure (of course) this is the reason for my trouble codes. I have no idea what part this is and/or how to replace it as there is a tube clamp that I can not reach.

Any one know or any ideas please and thank you.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Intake boot to throttle body and idle control valve. The split part is the part that goes to the idle valve, and is the most common cause of those faults with the 3.0i motor... It is only held on by a couple hose clamps, but they are a bitch to get to since the clamos aim down and back. You just gotta remove the DISA flap to get better access to it, which is just 2 t40 torx bolts then slide it straight out.

WOW MY FRIEND!
1ST, YOUR PARTS PICTURED ARE VERY APPRECIATED FOR ILLUSTRATION AND LET ME SAY THIS THAT YOU HAVE A (VERY EASY COMMON ISSUE) TO HAVE THOSE TWO CODES ON YOUR VEHICLE: P0171/P0174. HOWEVER, YOU MAY NOT KNOW PERSONALLY HOW TO DO SO, BUT I JUST WISH THAT WERE THE SAME CASE FOR MY: (01 X5 4.4i) AS IT THREW OUT THE SAME FOLLOWING CODES.
ALL YOU NEED 2 DO IS: GO TO: PARTSGEEK.COM AFTER ENTERING YOUR CAR MODEL/YEAR, LOOK FOR: (Air Mass Meter Boot) WICH GONNA COST:$ 16 USD
REPLACE IT AND YOU ALL DONE!!!

ALL YOU NEED 2 DO IS: GO TO: PARTSGEEK.COM AFTER ENTERING YOUR CAR MODEL/YEAR, LOOK FOR: (Air Mass Meter Boot) UNDER THE PARTS SECTION WHICH I'VE JUST CHECKED FOR YOUR CAR:$ 16 USD
REPLACE IT WITH SOME HELP (IT'S VERY EASY) JUST LIKE YOU TAKE IT OUT AND YOU ALL DONE!!!

HOWEVER, THERE ARE TOO MANY LOCATIONS FOR THIS FOLLOWING CODES TO APPEAR ON YOUR DASHBOARD. UNFORTUNATELY FOR MY CAR, IT SEEMS TO BE ON DIFFERENT PART BECAUSE I'VE CHECKED MOST OF THE VACUUM RELATED AREAS AND THEY ALL SEEM TO BE OK, I ALSO REMOVED MY AIR MASS SENSOR TO CLEAN IT WITH SPRAY RELATED BUT NO LUCK STILL.
I'M STILL HAVING THOSE TWO CODES:P0171/P0174 AS 2DAY 07/06/2010.
