Engine changes for '06

Hi all,

I've just bought an '06 earlier today. What changes have been made to the engine compared to the 04.5/'05's? I know the hp/torque ratings are the same, but I was wondering if they changed anything else? Looking under the hood makes me think something is different. I can't put my finger on what, but the engine looks less cluttered around the intake manifold for some reason.

Yes, the intake area looks less cluttered because on the 06's they removed the box which contained the throttle cable, it now is an all electronic throttle. I think they also changed the valve cover a little bit?
