egr - nothing just have to get the dtc tuned out. MAF - you would need a speed density if your gonna remove it other-wise your car will rund like sh*t.

There are lots of tables in the PCM that are MAP referenced, and it plays a big part in airflow calculations - things probably wouldn't go well.

^ I mounted mine vertically in the back and made a bracket to hold it in place. Or you could move it to the front. You don't delete the MAP. The MAF on the other hand can be deleted.

Look around in here for ideas. A lot of info in here.

Get a harness extension and put it up front.

o so its as simple as making longer wire. ok cool. no im not trying to delete the maf. I no that typically on the older efi cars, you either had a MAP sensor or a MAF. Usually you didnt have both, and i was just seeing if it would be better just to get rid of it. But nothing can be easier than making the wires longer.
