Anyone have or know where I can get an EGR plate to use when I "go to the track" ? I am wanting to go ahead and plug the exhaust and the intake side

Just put a BB in the vacuum line.

I did that, but I want to get the whole thing out of there.

I removed the EGR from the intake manifold and sealed it off with a quarter.

A quarter fits perfectly in the hole in the intake. Then I just bolted the EGR back on. Looks stock, but there is no exhaust getting into the intake. I also did the bb trick on the vacuum hose.

I bought the testing kit - worth every cent, very proffessional.

????WHY????

Just remove the vacuum line

Sometimes the valve leaks or gets stuck open. Not to mention it gets a useless part out of the engine bay. For off road testing only of course.

I'll probably get myself the testing kit. I have a wife, 2 kids, and a bun in the oven, so I am always broke.... but I have a birthday coming up

I made a plate to cover the hole. I had some scrap aluminium plate laying around and just cut one out. used the gasket for the template. drilled two holes for the bolts. I used a new gasket and gasket sealer. works good.

I traced around the gasket, used a hack saw to make the rough cuts,
and finished it off with a file. looks like the ones I see here on the site.
I did this about 4 years ago, was a good move, and haven`t looked back
since.

My exhaust manifold must have come off a pre EGR engine. so I didn`t have anything to plug there. looks real clean.

I'll see if I have any scrap metal (doubt it) can anyone advise me on how to plug the exhaust side hole?

I did the same thing, but I had to plug my exhuast side. I used thick sheet metal (12ga.) and used a coupling for 1" NPT pipe. so the ID of this piece was the OD of 1" black iron pipe. Using the ball end of a ball-peen hammer, I concaved the sheet metal some into pipe. I measured and cut with a hack saw an octangle a little bigger than the exhuast opening. I smoothed it with a file and worked it down until it fit over the hole and over the edge of the nipple. I then used the original clamp. The concave was on there so as the clamp tightened, it would push the piece onto the manifold harder and harder. Not a bit of soot around it in over 2000 miles, so no leaks.
