Cool SLP Lid Plug Size
I am removing the air/egr this weekend. What size plug do I need to block-off the hole on the side of the SLP Lid?

SLP Lid Plug from WS6Store

Only other choice from like advance or autozone is to buy an L fitting and put a plug on the other end. Ran like this for a few months until I needed something from ws6store.com so I just added this to my order for free shipping. The plug is a bit expensive but it looks super clean once you install it its like its not even there, so its worth it if you like a clean engine bay.

When I had mine I used some type of flat plug from lowes, cost like 50 cents of something and I glued it on.

I used one of those interior trim plugs from AutoZone or somewhere like that. It was the exact size to cover the hole and then Super Glue'd it on. Fixed that problem for less than a buck!

The plug is to block the AIR/EGR port on the side of the SLP lid, Where this port is, it is located ABOVE the filter. so when the car is sucking in air, if you do not cover that hole, it will suck anything it choses into that hole.. unfiltered. this is a very bad thing
