   yeah it should be a plastic plate that is also the short pipe that the airfilter sits over. Once you remove the 3 torx screws and unplug the tps and remove the throttle cable just grab the throttle housing either side and it will slide out of the manifold. Be carefull as there is a o-ring seal on the inner lip of the throttle body which you will only see once you have removed the throttle body. Its easy though
