Wrenching right now help
I am taking off the upper intake manifold and throttle body….. I have two manuals that I have looked at and both don’t seem to help that much. I took off all the screws I could find. Is there one that I might be missing? Thanks

well, seeing that i just did this 2 days ago i might be able to help:
5 screws: securing UI manifold to LIM
Losen upper injector fuel hoses (bleed fuel pressure before)
3 vac lines: on front of dynamic chamber
2vac lines: coming from under UIM to right near ACV
1 vac line: running to boost sensor (shock tower)
OMP linkage, throttle linkage/cruise linkage
3 bolts: drivers side engine secure Dynamic chamber to block
I've only done this once. So dont kill me if i'm TOTALLY wrong lol. There may be a couple more vac lines to lossen, you'll have to loosen the coolant hoses running to your BAC, and thermowax "unit" on the back of the TB, unplug your TPS also.

"Like i said, i did this a couple nights ago and just rewrote those directions from what i remember." CHEERS! good luck.

P.S. if you've never taken this manifold off before you'll have to break the seal that the gasket has made over the years. i stick a flat blade inbetween the UIM and LIM and pryed lightly. I also THOUGHT i forgot a screw but the seal the gasket makes is pretty good.

"Dont damage your manifold with a screwdriver" CHEERS!

I wish I was driving!
In the future, please pot your car model and year with posts like this.
There are 5 connectors to attach the UIM to the LIM. Depending on year and model, can be nuts and bolts. 4 along the outer edge, 1 long bolt in the center. The long bolt is easily overlooked.
On the opposite side, the drievrs side, on the bracket, there are some nuts/bolts that need to be loosened to get the UIM off the bracket. Easy to overlook.
On the S4 turbo's, there is a hose at the back bottom of the UIM, called the "90 degree hose" in these circuits. These can be a bitch to remove.
Obviously, you need to disconnect TPS, AWS, Vacuum lines, etc.
Post more info and I can be of more help.
