Previous owner of my car bought longtubes with the EGR and AIR provisions. When I rebuilt the motor I cut the tubes off completely and welded in the holes. No plates required!

Default Tune
Where would I go to get the correct tune so I can tune out the codes after the EGR delete? Also what is the price I'm looking at for the tune?

I took out the air pump. So what should I do with the remaining wires? Just leave them there?

I went ahead n traced them back to fuse block n cut them out! Abit of work, but worth the clean look of no harness hanging out of place.

FYI, these aren't codes you can clear at a parts store, you need a full tuner that can tell the ECU to ignore the EGR and Air faults. Find someone with HPtuners or similar and have them turned off.
