In the procss of removing my intake I manged to snap the vacumm line to the break booster and they don't sell the part, I don't really want to go to a junk yard I was wondering if I just got a normal vacumm like and put a check valve and what not on it if that would work. Also there is a snapped bolt inside the mount of the intake what's the best way to remove the broken bolt and retread another hole?

I dont see why you couldnt use a normal vacuum line. Also the bolt that broke is that the bolt that holds the plastic spacer to the head?

Why did it break was it cross threaded? You can try center punching it in the middle drill into it and try a easy out to remove it. But if its really jambed in there that wont work. You could honestly do without the bolt as well its not a crucial bolt.

I bout it broke like that. The issue I'm having with it is I can't remove the manifold because its still mounted, I didn't know what the issue was because it appeared all the bolts where undone so I muscled the manifold out and ended up bending the mount I just want to fix it before I put it back together. All this to change the coil pack lol.

If the head of the bolt broke from you prying on it should come out with a easy out must be the rear coil pack your replacing.
