Very neat installation(surgically clean engine).

CI,
My guess is that the idle speed control is totally separate from the boost and emissions controls, so the idle function (ELR) still works fine. The rack sensor's only mission in life is to provide info to the computer, which is used to determine when to trigger the EGR and flapper valve. So the rack sensor (L7) also becomes irrelevant. The EDS could be ditched entirely if it wasn't for the idle/ELR control!
BTW, the engine isn't normally this clean. I had to pull the head off to replace a blown gasket, and while I was in there, I cleaned up a little bit. Photos of the head gasket job are
here. There's some fun stories behind that as well, but I haven't yet had time to start a new thread about the gasket project.
