Deleting Emisson Stuff Im replacing the Intake Gasket so why not the EGR is messed up so im gonna delete it all and make cleaner engine bay. I got Intake Manifold off and the EGR stuff off already. What needs to be Caped off?
A lot of guys fabricate their own block off plates...I just went with this one http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...roducts_id=178 Good luck!
the open holes where you took the egr off. lol basically the two things on the back and the passenger side header. and the little vacuum port on the driver side intake
yes thats for the egr portions only, if you have the air pump you can get rid of that crap too and cap off the header tubes....but you will need to tune/ edit out the egr stuff or you will have ses light on
The caps for the headers are 5/8" Flared Brass Plumbing Caps at Home Depot.
You should have gone with the UMI block off plates, as when you get them the one that goes on the header is way to thin. It wont seal for ****. You will either have to get another one or weld up the hole on the headers

Verdad Gallardo all 3 times, Its not my dd i only drive it on nice weekends. So yes i let it sit for at least 24 hours, one time 48. the problem was there is only one bolt holding it on and its so thin. And if you try to tighten it up to much to bottom end will just start bending up
