I don't think D1 has this part; I don't think they have a plastic vacuum line to the booster.

Part # LR052965 Kit-Intake Plug (go to an OEM manufacturer site and plug in this part number). I paid 9.39 USD

I replaced my brake vacuum connector with a Saab part number 55557389 connector for $12. It’s a direct replacement. I use a long extension and went through the intake manifold to push out the old connector.
