That hose always looks cracked due to the paint so be sure to verify that it's not just an illusion. It shouldn't crack on it's own so I suspect someone was messing with your intercooler or valve cover.
Your hose, like most, should have a small electrical connector indicating that it is the version "with heater" and the P/N is listed in the top post. Just break the clips off your old hose to remove. Meanwhile it's not a big deal for it to leak, it won't significantly affect crankcase pressure and although it will draw in a tiny amount of unmetered air, there are 2 more MAP sensors downstream that will figure things out.

Thanks for the informational response. It most definitely is cracked I can stick a flat head in it, did it to make sure it was a crack. I think I may have cracked it when I installed the jb4 because I loosened the pipe that the intake attaches to so I had room to plug in the jb4 plug thay goes right there. If that makes sense.
Ill check for a part number and replace it in hopes that it's making the noise. Thanks
