Because it's not identified in the pet, I always thought the whole thing was one piece but you said it screwed off? Huh, with so many people having installed IPD, I'm surprised you can't find a good used one.

Find a used plenum and pop the top cap off and reinstall. Be careful with the diaphragm.

Alright, update here. I was able to get some epoxy and fit the broken piece back onto the cap. The epoxy I used is a 2-part mix from JB Weld that is good to 3000+PSI and some other astronomically high temperature, so it should hold to any abuse it gets. I'm going to fit the cap back on tomorrow and see how it works. If not, a replacement will be in order.

On the inside of the cap these numbers and letters were printed; PA66-6F33 3.48025.00. I did a search for them but didn't come up with anything.

Well my epoxy job didn't hold up. Getting the hoses back on requires a fair amount of pressure to be put on that cap and careful as I was, it snapped right back off. Sucks!

New is less than $165.00

I think there are a few on Ebay "used" for $100

I have a handful sitting on the shelf..

Wow, been there done that. Literally did the exact same thing about 2 years ago when I was replacing my check valve. Wound up buying a new plenum from the dealer, installed it myself. Lower the motor a few inches and its doable, a bit of a PITA getting the hoses on evenly all around.

I got 32krazy's used IPD plenum yesterday and started swapping it in. Not the easiest thing in the world, but lowering the engine definitely helps. However, it seems like it doesn't fit right. It appears that it's angled up a bit and when I try and twist it downward, it hits that metal bar that goes between the black manifolds. I'm not sure if the stock one is like that too and I never noticed it or what.

Also, I got a 78mm throttle body with it too. Anyone know where to get a silicone coupler that reduces off the throttle body to the stock y-pipe? I have the old one wedged in there now but I don't want to keep it like that.

The metal bar between the manifolds connects them too with the four large clamps below and can be rotated up or down slightly, not sure if it's enough to get you the room needed.

Yeah it looks like I can rotate it a bit to make it fit. The passenger side looks easily accessible but the drivers does not. Anyone know how to remove the oil filter assembly? Is there a DIY somewhere?
