Need someone to help me out!!
Today I found that I had a really bad vacuum leak coming out of this lil valve type thing on the back on my upper intake manifold (VE btw). So I was gonna take it out and take it into Autozone so they could get me a new one. Well turns out, they dont have access to it and no one else I asked did either. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/512102/4 --- There are the pics of it. I'm hoping maybe someone that has a VE they are parting out will be a super nice guy and sell it to me for what it costs to get it shipped. I'd like to be able to get it within a day as the car does not run w/o it. 
Or if you have one and want a some money for it, PM me and we can talk.
Thanks,
Cole

that gives vacuum to the brake booster so that's a pretty important part
I'd try to order it from a dealer. It's probably only $10 or so I'd guess. If you really needed to, you might be able to get yours fixed temporarily until you can get a new one in. It looks like yours has just cracked at the bend and maybe someone could weld it up pretty easily. I dont know how thick that material is or what it's made of, but it would take someone about 10 seconds to weld it if it's possible. I wouldn't use it as a permanent fix, but it might work for now. Just be sure to test it out slowly since it goes to the brakes. If you plugged the hole, I'd think the car would be able to run, but I dont really know for sure.
