Default Walked in on a dissapointment, broken ls6 intake
So I walked into my shop today to find my ls6 intake that was sitting on a table was in the floor.. (Still haven't figured out how it got there) but anyways it seems to be fine other than the vacuum port for the booster on map sensor housing was broken off. Does anyone know the trick to getting the housing off or were to find another one?

Post a pic, itll be better to get help that way. You might be able to drill it and tap it to put a brass barb on it

That's an awesome looking fix!
But my actual intake is perfect. It just broke off the vacuum port to the booster. Ill grab a picture real quick.

You should be able to fix that.

If you can get a long screw driver, you can press in the tabs and pop that piece off of the intake and work on it separately.

Depending how nice it fits back together, you can use lots of JBweld and/or get a barbed brass pipe nipple and modify it to work.

Man, it's been a while. I think 3, but I could be wrong.

You might be able to shine a light through the Throttle body area and look.

Just wanted to let anyone know that has a broken intake I found some stuff that WILL fix it. We had it at work. It works exactly like the video shows. It saved me from having to buy another intake. My intake was broken just like BluLS1's.
