Ok. so I bought race headers (long tubes) from texas speed that havent gotten here yet. Im wearching on the internet and I found some EGR block off plates and AIR plugs. Where do I put these on and how do I use them? Does any one have a pics or something? Im a visual guy so a write up or link would be good...

heres the ones I found:

You will only need two of those EGR plates, since you're deleting the fitting on the exhaust manifolds anyway. Remove the EGR valve and EGR tube on the back of the intake manifold and affix the block-off plates.

The AIR fittings included in the kit are for the exhaust manifolds. Remove the AIR pump and all of the lines attached to it. You'll see that there is a fitting on the top of each exhaust manifold - remove the pipes going into them. That's where the plugs go.

Ah ok... I get it...

wicked94z...whats that second pic? is that the exhuast hose?

I found this for !EGR. It looks fairly straight forward...

What about AIR? Where is the AIR pump?

I know I need to get it tuned out later too...

The second picture is the EGR tube that goes from the intake manifold to the passenger side exhaust manifold.

The AIR pump is located on the driver side front of the engine, just below the coil, and to the right of the water pump, and is held in place by three bolts. To remove it, you just remove everything attached to it. There are several pipes and hoses that come off of it. You'll need to plug the hole in the intake ducting and cap off the fittings in both exhaust manifolds, using M18 plugs. Have the AIR pump programmed out and enjoy a cleaner engine bay.

Sounds easy enough. Does anyone have pictures of the AIR pump? I know its probably obvious to most ppl so Im going to look for it, but i would llike a picture to make sure.

Is there an AIR pump fuse I should remove or will getting it tuned out take care of it?

below is everything that will be taken off the car except for the metal pipe that goes from the driver side to the passenger side of the manifold. the metal pipe pretty much has to be destroyed to get it out. leave the fuse in and plug the hole in the air intake. it shouldnt throw a code as long as the fuse is good.

....ah FWIW you can "disable" air pump..not remove it.

But since you are blowing off EGR than it won't matter....if you get pegged at smog that will fail you

It WILL throw a code if you rip out the AIR pump and do not tune it out in the computer. with the fuse in, or the fuse out your SES light will evenually come on. It may not come on right away, but after a few rides it is gonna come on.

It will only throw a code on OBDII cars. OBDI cars need not worry.

Interesting. Do you have the AIR tuned out?

I've done AIR deletes on 4 or 5 OBDII cars and all have set a code within a day.

no A.I.R. was never tuned out.

Anyway, it seems very easy. Hopefully those headers get here soon. theyre on back order right now and probably won't get here untill next week. I'll post up pics and questions if I have any while Im doing it.

Thanks for your info guys.

reading this post, so i can disable my air pump without removing? what unplug it? cause mine keeps blowing fuse, is this cause pumps bad? also would that cause fans to come on?

Awesome, I've been searching for a while for these pics.

I was trying to figure out what EGR block off plates I'd need.

Functionally typing the only block off plate required on the manifold is for the EGR. The EGR pipe/tube port on the passenger side runs to the port on the drivers side so it is actually redundant to block off.
