Default broken intake

anyone ever seen this?



this is the underside of my magnuson tvs2300. I first noticedthe car idling high 1100-1200 RPMs. I went looking for vacuum leaks. I also noticed the headers glowing orange at idle(way lean) I eventually noticedon the back side of an injector there was a 3 inch long piece of the o-ring that seals the upper intake to the lower. when I went to fix it I found 4 of the bolt mounts broken off.

More than likely the bolts were too tight.
