OK be careful in general but, OP has the same car as mine that's the right part number.

For junkyard harvesting there are about a dozen cars that use it, see the FCP page.

As has been mentioned, thoroughly evaluate any populated DTC’s. The presence of breadcrumbs should be in a trail formation. This trail is a good thing to follow. Also don’t forget to re-check any recently performed work.

Shooting from the hip, it could be several things as pointed out. One thing not brought up that could be a source is a faulty cam phaser (aka VVT actuator). Some are serviceable, some are not. I don’t believe yours is of the serviceable variety, but I may be wrong. I’d be looking at the exhaust phaser before the intake, but don’t go removing stuff until you catch a glimpse of the rabbit hole.
