OK, I have now cleaned my intake crossover, EGR mounting base and EGR (which will be removed again when blocking kit arrives). EGR is capped off as well as vacuum line. I have searched the forum and it seems to be a good idea to also remove the smog modules and lines too (for testing purporses, of course). Now what about this round module just below the EGR, which I think is the Air Reciculation Valve? It has a connecting rod to the turbo and a vacuum line to it also. I am ready to remove it also. Or is that a bad Idea?

Here is the ARC I think

Here is the rod connected to it that goes to the hot side of the turbo.
