Default Installed plenum and 75mm TB, I have some questions

Overall the install was fairly easy. I purchased the combo for 150$ off of ebay as a knock off type product. have noticed a marked increase in throttle response and she seems to have a little more power but that could be my imagination.

Everything bolted right together without any issues except for one. a metal nipple on the lower right front of the plenum that is missing that connects to the passenger side head covers. The hole is there and I temporarily put a plactic vaccum tube fitting with some silicon sealant for the time being and connected the hose. (it is best seen on pic #3 next to the EGR connection)

I am having trouble finding a replacement metal nipple from the stores and I can't pry the old one loose and it is basically destroyed now (next to the plyers on the last photo)

Any suggestions? I don't think its a problem now but when I put the vortech blower on I would like to have a more permanent solution.

Thanks guys.

Here are some pics

You can find those fittings at home depot/lowes. I bought my trick flow plenum used and it had the larger nipple as I needed the smaller one. Looking in plumbing department if i remember.
