I would prefer to take the whole manifold off instead of splitting top half off. As far as I know they are only sold as complete unit by Audi so I am not sure if the middle gasket is available to buy. And I would not want to reuse old gasket in as there would be risk it would leak afterwards. I know 40v and 32V manifolds and throttle bodies are different but I have had 32V manifold off and that was not hard at all, it came off together with throttle body and most of the gubbins, only needed couple of of hoses to disconnect.
