Plenum vacuum nipple broke
Hi guys. The saga continues lol. Went to change check valve 16. Then snap. Anyone have an OEM plenum? Thought about pulling it then epoxy. Thanks

Good idea on fitting. I'd surely rather have an intact one.

I'd rather spend the $$ on something more substantial as the benefit isn't clear considering these are turbocharged. Having no plastic to break would be great but $850 is too much IMO.

Note if you have to swap over your throttle body there is a gasket behind it to replace.
