Default Intake questions....

Hi
I'm putting together a turbo six liter engine, and using the truck manifold... And I had a few questions...
Aew there any Mods you have to do to the Manifold when boosting,
What do you all use to plug the huge *** egr hole?
And, what the hell is the sensor on top of the manifold toward the front... right behind the tb,.. It's about 2" long, has a line coming off it with a pressure port of some sorts.
Thanks
Tim

Can't answer the sensor question but you don't have to mod it unless you have the egr provision. In that case go to NAPA and get an adjustable rubber plug thing (can't think of the name right now). And it might be 1.75 inch but might be the next size up... Careful not to overtighten or you'll crack the intake.
