little metal screen mesh filter about the size of a thimble which sits in the high pressure pump housing assembly. My guess would be to follow the fuel lines and start undoing them one by one til you see the filter.

I have one with a miss feels like a fuel problem. Ignition side of things is good on the scope while driving. Fuel low presure good to the pump. Wanted to check the bucket filter before moving to the next step but need to locate it. Only spent bout 1/2 hour on it though.

Tried above quickly but could not locate it there is two oval plates on the inside back of it with torx screws is could be under them I guess. To lazy and unmotivated to look though lol.

I would remove the throttlebody and have a peek in there with a bright torch and check how blocked up the inlet manifold is. Have seen some of them block up so much they are fine when idling or under light load, but struggle when under load or higher rpms as the manifold can no longer flow enough air.
