Thanks for the replies fella's, as a matter of fact, I did lose sleep, last night to be exact. I was worried about the turbo and all the other California "stuff". I called a dealer this morning and they looked up the vin. The trap was removed and replaced with the other can thing back in 1998, the turbo is shiny, so I imagine that was replaced as well. I'm somewhat relieved, although I would like to know how reliable is that new thing they installed? Has it proven trouble free? By plugging up the air recirc and egr valves, what do I gain and what do I lose? Thanks
