Default Intake Manifold Help

I just recently got a LS4 ported intake manifold and ported throttle body. The wonderful USPS didn't take care of it and now it has small styrofoam pieces inside of it and I was wondering the best way to get them all out?
Also I was wondering if the copper hose pipe on the throttle body was suppose to be plugged or is it suppose to flow? Damn USPS! Thanks

Is the copper pipe on the bottom of the tb I would sayy it is a coolant line. If its anywhere else its probably a vac line. If its a vac line you can probably see a port on the inside of the TB that would flow to it. If its a coolant line there will be an in and an out for the coolant to flow through. Or you could run a bypass.

As for the **** in your intake, I would use air. If that dosnt get it out take off ur tb and use water and let it dry out well

That what's suck,cause some flat rate boxes are not big enough. I sent out my engine cover, exhaust manifolds,down pipes,stereo equipment, etc. Not once have I heard a complaint about packaging ,non were flare rate except amps,HU,speakers...
