E-stinking-g-r
Yeah,
Just reading around the forums and I came across the EGR removal threads. Well, as a dude with a metal shop I figured I could fab a plate to cover the hole in about 15 seconds and decided to remove and plate mine, as I live in a state with minimal to non existant inspections or emissions testing. Well. I took mine off and discovered that it was stuck half open and completly wedged with crud. Oily exhausty crud, caked all over everything and falling into my turbo!!!!!!!!!!! Take off the EGR, clean out the crud and either plate it or stealth plate it. The EGR is a stupid non functional part. 90% of all automobile pollution is created during the manufacturing process. Throw out the emission controls and rock a vintage ride for as long as you can. Do your duty and rock on. Dan the welder

Wow
Man, tons of info. Thanks. I like the kit idea, does anyone know of complete vacuum diagrams available with the EGR removed. I'm starting to think the gentleman before hosed things up a bit when he removed the valve cover vacuum lines.
Yes, pun intended on "hosed it up." Couldn't help myself. |

Without those lines, you need a vacuum line to the VCV with the proper orifice installed. That's the only important remaining line. |
