I just bought a used 2008 SS/TC. The car has been played with by previous owner so I'm trying to sort out some issues and bring it back to nice condition.

It seems there is one bolt/screw missing where the MAP sensor is, at least I think that's the MAP sensor. Where could I obtain that screw? If the thread is stripped, I guess I might as well buy aftermarket charge pipe set. Here is a picture:



Also, the charge pipe right before it enters TB has a dent in it, is that normal or no?



Besides those couple things the car is very nice overall. Just had it tuned by a friend yesterday with HPT and it's a beast

 

you could probablly order the screw from gm as a part specific or you could take the other one out go to ace and get a grade 8 screw.

 

You can get the screw at any hardware store...it was nothing special, just take out the other to get the right length. The dent is normal in the cold pipe by the TB is normal.

 

Thanks, will hit up Ace tomorrow for the screw and go to adjust the tune a bit afterward.

 

I actually had the proper thread a little while ago but can't remember. I bought 10 of them just in case I needed some. They are just stainless machine screws with a phillips button head and 1 inch long.
