is the EGR piece on the rear of the LS6/LS1 intake removable. i am trying to change mine due to the tab that holds the map sensor being broke.. is that possible?

the only thing on the rear of the manifold is the map sensor.....a vacuum port for the brake and HVAC....what do you mean EGR?

if you mean the bung that holds those sensors.......yes it is.......i just put one in my LS6 intake.....removed it from my LS1 intake......but destroyed the LS1 intake in the process of removing it

LTZCory

yes that is exactly what i am talking about.. is it worth the hassle of destroying my LS1 intake for that part. or should i do some sort of quick fix?

a LS1 intake is pretty much worthless so i had no problem taking it apart to pull the bung

LTZCory

thank you...so you cant get it out without breaking it.. did you just cut up the ls1 intake?

those tabs on the bung are pretty fragile......so i cut a circle around the bung on the LS1 intake......pulled it out.....and gently depress the tabs to remove it from cut intake piece.....then i cut the bung .......the bung not the intake.......on the LS6 intake til i could see the tabs .....takes a lot of cutting to get to the tabs....depressed the tabs on the bung with a screwdriver and got it out......slapped in the LS1 bung and.......woooo hooo

the tab to hold down the MAP was broken on the LS6 so thats why i swapped them out

Do you still have the cut/broken pieces...? May we have some closeup pics from various angles, please...?

no pics of the bung from the LS6 intake i cut apart.....i still have the LS1 intake tho

this divider separates the vacuum from the brake side and HVAC side.....makes cutting it a bitch

be careful.......the only way to get another bung is from another intake

If that tab is broken, you could just zip-tie the sensor down. It's really held in by the orange rubber gasket anyway, the tab is more like a backup.

Terrible reason to go through all that for the bung. The stock tab sucks for holding the MAP down anyways. Zip tie it and forget it. More secure that way anyhow

not like it cost me a million dollars and took me forever to do it........just pissed me off that i got a intake with a broken tab
