One of the plugs came loose and fell out. Now I have a "boost leak" coming out from that area. I had removed the air horn and upper boot while replacing my power steering pump -- to get them out of the way. The intake air heater was left sitting "in place". I knew the plug was loose, but never checked it before reassembling everything. When trying to isolate the leak, I noticed the plug was gone. I've stuck a flashlight into the manifold chamber and looked with a mirror, but cannot see it anywhere inside. I'm hoping it fell out and off the engine. On the attached pic, the two plugs are located on the left side and are on the (bottom) engine-side when it is bolted in place.

Anyone know of a source for just a replacement plug? I can buy a new assembly from O'Reilly Auto Parts for $170, but cant believe I need to buy a complete unit due to a missing plug.

On my 01 the two "plugs" are bolts that the power wires are hooked to. As for replasement ebay has some grid heaters for as low as 52.00.
