its not the idle stabliser. If it was, you most likely would not be able to drive it or it would be running terrible. They cost in excess of $200. The idle stabliser is the cylinder looking unit that is under the engine trim beside the throttle body. The ISV damper or PCV damper is the thing that blew up on your car dom and it comes of the idle stabliser to silence the noise level of the stabliser.
its a common thing on VRs as it is directly above your exhaust manifold and gets too hot and frail. only OBD1 engines had em.
can be replaced at a cost of around $50.
heres a pic of it. this shot shows the heat shield that is on the bottom of the damper.
But you can bypass it and it will still work fine
