Just a useful tip incase you do not know already, when taking an old hose off as a radiator or vaccuum, instead of pulling on it first which causes the hose to stretch and shrink tighter on the metal pipe, try to push it further in first which will make it bow out away from the metal pipe and breaking the seal then it comes off much easier.

The 2005 + 2uz has a plastic intake that added a dual length intake runner set up that was added when they went to VVTI. If you eliminate it you will lose torque and horsepower. It was a popular retrofit to older 2uz Tundra, Sequioa, 4runner. The 2005 2UZ had the highest horsepower and torque numbers because of the selectable intake runners and the VVTI.
