And just to add a couple more pics... When I was reading through threads getting info for the swap, I saw multiple people ask about what to do to block off the egr and there were not pics, so here's some pics of the plate I used and plug.

Plug



I'LL GET SOME VIDEOS WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP SOME, TURKEY SEASON IS DONE, AND SCHOOLS OUT! Been busy lately.



Can I just leave the egr in place as long as the other hole has a plug in it? My egr is disabled in the tune.

I thought about doing that, but it was easy enough to block it off. I think I might have asked someone about doing this but never got an answer. I cut out piece of cardboard for a pattern, traced it on some steel, cut it out, and painted it.

you dont even have to plug the hole for the tube, you can leave the dead EGR valve on the intake and will be fine. I ran like that for a little bit when i was working the bugs out of my swap, never had a single issue. I did eventually hook everything up and had intentions of using EGR to hit my 30mpg highway goal, but never got around to messing with it in the tune.
