AA BOV.........HELP!!

well, where should I start, first of all, I'm VERY VERY sad as my cousin and I tried to install the AA BOV tonight.......

We followed the AA installation instructions to the T until the part where it involves removing the vaccum hose from the side of the throttle body, as it's pictured and stated in the AA instructions. Well, we couldn't get the damn thing off, thought we needed to use a little more muscle, and the hose came off alright, but the little knub also broke and came with the hose........

So now my car's apart and not drivable.......We figured out the part's name, which is the plastic cover for the intake manifold. The knub is on the bottome half of it right next to the throttle body.......What should I do, I'm absolutely lost, only had the car for a WEEK......

God I'm kicking myself in the ass right now thinking why couldn't I just spend a bit of money and bring it into a shop to have it done..........OMFG!!

Please, please if you have any idea as to where to get the part or even what you think I should do from this point on out.........Please let me know and help me out!!

Thanks
