Those who did !EGR; quick question....

The expansion plug that goes in the top of the intake, can i over-expand that if i tighten it too much?? I'm not sure if i tightened it tight enough, i just did it to the point where i could not grab it and pull it right out w/ my bare hands. Is this ok?? Thanks in advance.

you could always run a bead of rtv around it to be safe. i was running a block off plate as opposed to the plug.

I over tightened mine initally and it would just pop out.

Where can I find the best 'How To' on this mod?

I would use the search, but since we are on the subject, I can skip guesses and misinformation with your guidance.

Thanks

u dont need a how to its soooooo easy. get a block off plate for the exhaust so u can cap it off. take the 2 10 mm bolts out that bolt onto the exhaust and use the old gasket and put on the block off plate. take off the 14 mm bolts i believe that bolt in the head of the car, unplug the harness and take out the 10 mm bolt on the intake and pull the whole thing out. put in the rubber freeze plug and get it tight in there. make sure the code is deleted and dont worry about it. there is nothing to it just need a swivel to get the bolts on the exhaust manifold. took me a wapping 10 min to do.
