T-Piece woes

Evening everyone, hoping that someone can point me in the right direction with this problem!
I have an 87 Cabby GTi with the DX engine and there is a T-piece that connects just in front of the manifold that connects to some vacuum pipes that run left and right. This has something to do with the idle-not sure how it works though?
The problem is the T-Piece has broken which is leaking air causing an erratic idle. I've tried replacing the T-piece but it turns out that this particular T-piece is a reducer on one side and I cannot find anything that works.
Is this part still available, or does anyone know where I can get one?
thanks in advance!

That's the one! Perfect 
Ive never ordered anything from overseas though, is it safe? I've tried to find it in the UK but no luck at all-seems a very rare part!
