Code P0470 tube/sensor location

My truck is throwing the P0470 code (the only code, pretty common code), and I know that's a "Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Circuit Error", so I'd like to pull it and clean it out and the sensor as well.
I'm not sure what the tube is called but I haven't had any luck searching for P0470.
I'm wondering if anyone has a pic of it/its location, I've read it's around the AC comp. but there's a lot of tubes/hoses around there.
Thanks

I don't have a picture, but if you look at your passenger side exhaust manifold you will see a metal tube coming from the front end of the manifold. Follow that tube to your EBPS, which is located by your HPOP(which is also close to your A/C compressor).

I'll take a good look around there thanks, gives me a good start point to trace it.
The HPOP is under the AC comp correct

Standing in front of the truck it is next to the compressor on the right. The HPOP sits in the valley in front of the fuel filter housing. If i remember right the EBPS is on the left side of the HPOP reservoir(which sits on top of the HPOP), and hidden by a coolant line.

Excellent vid,
Why no Tef tape though?
I would out of habit put Tef tape on the threads of the fittings, is it not necassary?
