So who knew that a gauge install could really f up your day. Torquing down the old sensor and fire up the car to see if its working, and I see a little leakage. So I take a closer look and what do you know, a hair line fracture is running from the sensor along the lower intake, WTF! I guess that's some inscentive to get a new intake hrmmmmm. Anyway, for now I'm going to try some JB Weld/Quicksteel. Think that'll hold it over?
 
I just read that same thing, that you'd be better off with a street heat intake vs the track heat version. I ran the street heat and got great results from it.

And, for temp purposes, JB weld (not the JB quick, that stuff is crap) will do you over. I cracked my radiator a few years back on the way back from The FFW at commerce ga and I JB'd the radiator and drove it like that for 2 years
 
Just a small crack? JB Weld is worth a shot. Have you ever thought of a TMOSS ported lower? You would definatly see a gain, wouldn't hurt lower end torque, and would have resale, plus TMOSS probally charges less by core than most people are selling them.
 
with out a dought in my mind jb weld will hold i used that stuff to put my bov on my intake pipe from my sc (the pipe was plastic) . ive also used it to seal stator covers on bikes , rad., oil pans .
like said dont buy the quick it suck.
if ya want it to cure faster use a heat gun it will get hard as a rock in 2 mins.
