Default Where to find top vacuum fitting for TBSS intake?

Getting everything together for my TBSS intake on my build. The intake is missing the vacuum fitting on top of the intake. Its the one that angles 90* toward the drivers side. I called the dealership and he said it comes up as a non serviceable part, but you can see how you lock the fitting in there. Any idea where to pick one up?

Also looking for the 2 bolts for the bottom of the TB. Is there a part number for those? Ill have to check the dealer on those, i forgot earlier.

The fitting in the middle on top of the intake

Could you find one at the junk yard? I wonder if the truck intakes are the same fitting. Is it thick enough to drill and tap to put your own fitting in there?

Probably but any yard around here wants over 300 for just the intake so I doubt they would let me steal the fitting. Its at least a 1/2" hole so I'm not sure what I could find to throw in there and feel confident about. Its wierd with the mounting tabs around it.

Perfect size for a 3/8npt tap

That piece comes as part of the evap hose. You could get that hose, cut it off and just cap it.

I put a npt tap on mine...

I thought the evap was the small nipple by the TB and that port on top goes to my drivers side valve cover with the pcv valve?

I gotcha. Just a 3/8 npt tap and either cap it or whatever i want to do. I guess I should prolly run a catch can so I'll have to look up how to do that

It's the PCV for an 08+ truck. I had to get the parts guy to pull up diagrams till I found it. I think it was $12 or something at Chevy.
