Major Breather/Inlet manfold prob

[rickisgrate]

Discovered the connector on the underside of the inlet manifold for the breather has snapped flush inside the manifold and now the cars not boosting properly, theres another breather next to it, can i Y peice this to the broken pipe and black off the one thats not flush or could it be drilled out and replaced or am i gonna have to get a salvage manifold and change the lot? Really need help guys

 

[ibizacupra]

[rickisgrate]

so just blank off the broken bit and y peice off the other breather?

 

[ibizacupra]

I snapped both my nipples off on the drivers side of the manifold. Picked up two new ones, welded up the holes and drilled and retapped for the new nipples.

difficult to do? where did you get the new parts from? Is the inlet manifold not made of alloy? also how big of a job is it to remove the manifold from the car. (Sorry for all the questions)
