That doesn't look like the rubber vacuum line sold in auto parts stores.  It
looks shiny and like plastic.  I would switch to the auto parts type.
I can see probably the two primary injectors right by where the line melted.
That area should not be too hot since fuel is right there.  However I do see
the EGT thermocouple line going by the area as well.  That may be
transferring heat to the plastic line.
Do you have a picture a little farther back to help orientation as to where
we are looking on the engine?

This is my MAP line. The heat of the exhaust comes up beside the intake
manifold and melted it. I replaced the melted section with a piece of 3/16"
aluminum tube. That conducted the heat better, and caused it to melt faster.
The package said it was high temp, but I don't think they anticipated the
rotary version of high temp.

What are you guys using?
