I need to locate it first!
New AOS and spark plugs bought, tomorrow, the intake manifold and TB are coming out for cleaning so I will search for it then, plus fit the new aos. The aos>manifold pipe was out of stock so I plan to vent it into a filter and block off the manifold. The tech said the DME will adjust fueling to suit so this should work fine.
Its NOT a permanent change as I have ordered a new aos>intake pipe to replace mine, but if it clears up the smoke, that's got to be a bonus!

if you intend to remove the manifold please post some pics and impressions.
as far as i understand from reading the forum, the bank 2 manifold is not that bad to remove. that should get you to the valve.
the real pain is removing bank 1 manifold in order to replace the long pipe (part 4).
again, never done this, so will appreciate your impression based on your experience.
good luck, and keep us posted.
