You can get a "block off kit" that covers the port on the manifold and there isn't one on the intake so you don't have to worry about it. It will throw a code if you don't get it tuned out but if you can live with the light being on you'll be fine. Check ws6store.com for the kit

cause the EGR does so much for the environment ****** CARB bullshit here is pathetic all it is is just a waste of tax payers money

anyway yes, you'll need a block-off plate to cover that hole or your RPM's will shoot up and you can't control it . . . ask me how i know lol

you don't need to get one really for that, when you put a cam in or headers on then you may want to think about it.
