I kinda think you would be ok using some J B Weld stick, filling up that hole.

I too have one of those intakes, and when i got it, i put it in the bead cleaner to make it look spiffy.

The aluminum was porus on one runner, and started putting a hole in the top of the runner with the blast of the bead agent.

Used JB Weld on it, and it worked great, to this day.
