i broke a bolt whent removed a wire from a grounding kit. i have a turbo 2 and the bolt is on the leftside on the top of the intake near the stock intercooler. i think its only purpose was to help bolt down the intake, but i wanted to make sure, the screw was really long something like 5-7 inches so if anyone can tell me its purpose that would be great.

The bolt is the center intake bolt between upper and lower manifolds. You can likely due without since you have likely enough additional bolts doing the job for you
