Broke PVC Nipple off Intake
#1

So I fixed it!
After the nipple broke I popped the rest of the cap off and scraped the surface clean. Then went to Ace Hardware and found a threaded 90 degree nipple that would fit the hole. Sealed it up with RTV and let it dry.
Should be good as new again.
Part number for nipple used:

Nipple that was broken shown on an old EGR intake I didn't want to use because it was dried up and faded.

Screwed in with RTV on the threads and then sealed up:
