I was doing to oil catch can mod as shown HERE. And I snapped off the nipple on the intake tube near the turbo...I know thats bad...but its my daily driver...and suggestions...maybe wrap it witha sock until I can get it fixed...cuz isnt it an air intake deal? any suggestions. Or any place to get a better (NOT PLASTIC) part for it?



Thanks,

Sean

do you have a digital camera? it's kinda hard to think of what you broke without a little more detail....at least for me anyway.



can you point out which one it was?

The black plastic elbow before the primary turbo.



You should be able to get a replacement cheap from someone who recently went single turbo or a shop who does them. I seem to have thrown mine away, though I kept all the aluminum pieces.
