So I broke this little piece that is part of my PCV/evap lines. This little some bitch.

It's throwing some CEL codes. But it drives fine. So I decided to take my car to the dealership to see how much this piece costs. I know how much it costs and it takes less than 30 seconds to swap the pieces. But I decided to let them diagnose my car. Dropped it off and told them to call me with the problem and an estimate to fix it. Now let the rip offs begin. They said it could be caused by my aftermarket intake system and that they would have to replace the whole intake before they can begin looking elsewhere. They also said that they can't work on the car with nitrous on it as it is a liability and they won't remove it. So therefore they wanted me to remove my nitrous lines, then bring it back so they could remove my K&N and put in a stock intake, THEN begin looking for the cause of the CELs. I then said I wanted to show them something on my car. I walked to it, removed the little broken thing (no idea what it's called) pointed to the broken line and said "do you think it could be this clearly broken piece of plastic" Some tech said maybe but I'm not sure. I just rolled my eyes then left. So I gave them the benefit of the doubt but as usual, dealerships are just out to rip you off. Disappointed to say the least.
