Can't think of any air pipes on the left, unless it is part of the air injection - if this has gone, then its like having a blowing manifold...

Any piccies?

If its the small black pipe below the aux belt tensioner then its on the left side when looking at the car then its the air injection and you have a blocked drivers side cat or centre section on the exhaust........

Sounds like EGR...

Yes, if that failed, it would be bloody hot (exhaust gases)...

Is there an actual hole in it, or is it gasket, or is it valve itself. If valve, blank it off (PM Issunaz, he made some blanks)

Replace the gasket, but may also be worth blanking it anyway....
