Nah dude, its a single big ass valve. Start at the airbox, follow the rubber line to where its connected to the big steel/aluminum thing. Take the rubber hose off the metal thing and you should see a large valve inside there. Its all visible from the top of the engine really easy. Do a search for throttle body problems in the forum and you should be able to get a picture.

If it goes over 3000k rpm's it dies, so how do i get it to floor while i m spraying the chemtool stuff, or will it idle while i m spraying that stuff?

No it will try and die on you, it doesn't combust very easy and it breaks away all the carbon on the intake valves, intake manifold, TB, ect. So just try and keep it from dieing.

Yeah but have someone flooring the gas pedal while you are spraying the chemtool into it, thats the key.

Yeah but this will clean everything in the intake system so it takes care of a lot. If that doesn't help then start looking for a leak.

is that chemtool crap expensive, so i ll spray some propane around the engine, so i start the car up and if my rpm's go up automatically, that means there's a leak, so than i just gotta find where it is, but to me it sounds like the intake thing is dirty, cuz the car sounds like its choking

Yeah thats why i told you to do it. You can use any carb cleaner that usually costs around $5.
But an vaccum leak will make it seem like the engine is "choking" because it doesn't recognize where the air is coming into the engine and it adds fuel to compensate.

so finding that valve shouldnt be a pain in the ass, so just trace that fat plastic hose that goes to the engine take that off and there should be the valve

No it can be quite dangerous, don't put it too close to the exhaust manifolds, or have someone stupid smoking or something dumb like that.

Just around the areas where you see vaccum lines, on top of the engine, and to the sides, just don't spray too much on the rear corners of the engine where its really hot.

Tommorow one of his mechanics gonna weld the mufler and it should be done. With out the exaust the car runs perfectly. So thanks for the help and advices you guys gave me. So til tommorow I get to drive 2006 S4 6spd manual. ( Not my its just in the dealership).

Thanks

oki, i had same problem (10-12 years ago). Also nobody figure out, what's wrong. But i have one smart friend, and he just check preasure of gas, behind gas pump. There was not preasure enought for blast gast thru injectors. All i recommend is change gas filter and gas pump.
PS: go to local junk yard, and ask for those parts. Also check ypur gas tank for some kinde of dirt on the bottom. (that's what destroy gas pump and clog gas filter).
Good luck.
