That said, what damage could the flap cause? and where could it work its way into? I have the car in the garage tomorrow and debating if the pay the garage to strip the manifold? would prefer not to.
Wishful thinking, if a PO removed the flap, why did he leave the pin in there?

You are going to have to remove the intake manifold to locate the flap so might as well bite the bullet and get it done now instead of later. It might have travel as far as the head it self and is now stuck at one of the valve area.
