Default Broken fitting on ls6 intake manifold. Best way to fix?

Hey guys,
I recently bought an ls6 intake manifold and the seller failed to mention that the PCV fitting on the passenger side is broken off. I got a bit of a refund but i still need to figure out the best way to fix it.

My vehicle is boosted so i need something that can hold up to the pressure



Suggestions? The plastic is very thin in that area so i dont think i can tap it for a new fitting.

How thin is it? I'd look into a 1/8" NPT fitting, or a tight pressed fitting.
