Default LS6 intake help!

i just recently bought a LS6 intake from a user here. when i receieved it, it was broken . I believe the MAP sensor is gone and the piece where the brake booster hose it connected to. So is there any place to get the MAP sensor or just the whole circular back part? any input would be appreciated... thanks!

The map sensor goes into that little round hole (you use your old one). And it's hard to tell from the pic, but is the large vac port broken? If it is, it looks like there is enough left to slip some hose on...but it's blurry. For the most part though, it looks fine.

Yes, that is what you are supposed to do. Just make sure the rubber seal comes out with your LS1 map. For the vacuum fitting...I don't know. You might try glueing some material on there or something. I don't know of any way of replacing that whole piece.

I've tried to remove that plug, as have others. Some say there may be a couple clips that hold it in place. You might be able to get access to these through the TB opening. If that works you should be able to replace it with your old one.
If not, I've rebuilt plastic parts (obsolete magneto cap) using epoxy. Just clean the part really well with acetone, make a form with tape, then fill with epoxy. You can drill out the port after it dries and clean up the outside with a file or dremmel.

Did you know it was like that when you bought it? If not I would send that **** back and pick up another one.
