Default Intake Sensor Barb

I finally got around to replacing my OEM hot and cold charge pipes with the CV Fab aluminum ones (I'll put that in another post with some pics). While maneuvering my intake pipe going to the passenger side turbo charger, the plastic sensor broke right at the pipe. Has anyone had this happen, and what's the best repair. I know it's not high pressure, so I figured something along the lines of Gorilla Glue, RTV, super glue, or something along those lines, but wanted to check.

Going to get some JB Weld plastic bond. The kit I had was bad.

I was able to get the barb glued back on. It's the tube from the waste gate solenoid, so I'm going to just call it a temporary repair. I ordered a new OEM tube from one of the many Ford parts websites and it will be here later this week.
