on my car the previous owner, just welded the bungs shut. As far as the egr you can probebly fabricate that little block off plate that comes in a complete egr block off kit (ebay, umi ect).

Just go to Home Depot and buy a little piece of sheet metal. Snip out a matching size and drill holes for the bolts. Seal it up with JB weld.

For the Air, just find some large bolts to screw in there. As for the EGR check UMIperformance and look at their EGR block off plates.

We used a 1/2 plug from Lowes. It is tapered, and fit perfect on a friend of mines car. I have the Non-emissions Headers.
