He based that off this thread info.
The first video he says it doesn’t work though I don’t think the holes were getting drilled to a specific size. I think I get a mention in it.

What are the hole sizes I should be drilling? The first page says 2mm for both holes on bottom, but the video says 2mm and 1.5mm on the bottom?

Also is there a way to remove the last coil pack lead (not sure if right word) so I can get more room? I'm struggling to take it out.

I'm struggling to take it out.

I had the same issue. There's a description earlier on in this thread of how to make a puller/slide hammer to get it out.

The coil can not be removed without removing the intake plenum.
The wiring harness for the coil can be removed by unplugging it.

Removing the PCV is outlined in the third and fourth post.

Use these.

Put thick rag over the valve or a bit of vacuum hose.

Twist to break the red thread lock and then pull.

 

[bloodninjasv6]

What size vice grips did you use? Between the brake booster and all the hoses, I'm struggling to see how you'd fit a pair back there?

Long nose ones like above. Had it done in minutes on four VZ’s and two VE’s.

The other way of removing it,
Place a piece of rubber hose over it and use a pair of pliers to twist it on the hose.
