Very common problem. This nipple is not available separately, so you have two options:
1) Clean up the area well with degreaser and roughen the surface, then use some epoxy (JBWeld) to reattach the nipple. 2) Use a short piece of copper tubing (1/2 inch ID, as I recall) to bypass the throttle body altogether. The purpose of the fitting (I imagine, no confirmation from Porsche) is to keep the throttle body from icing up on long open throttle runs (i.e. Autobahn). gb
