Egr

[riderevolution]

Can I leave the egr off and just bolt a plate on it or do I need to have the egr on it?

What is "it"?

Year/Model info? Supply more info before you ask a semi-vague question please. As long as you have a thick blockoff plate, you just bolt that in place of the EGR valve, then rip out the valve, canister, and everything associated with it. If you have a 2g, unless you do a little research, you will throw a CEL. On a 1g, this will cause no problems.

Thx for the link, just as cheap as making it. But a little better looking.

FFWD's looks good to me. I used the stainless steel one they used to sell. Good quality and very fast shipping.

Just as a side note, seeing you ask a question like this when you work at a "huge speed shop" and have a car like you described in your introduction thread,
I just wanted to introduce myself....my name is Matt and I have been into DSM's for about 6 years now. I currently have a 95 talon tsi awd with a 2.4 stroker motor...g4cs block and 1st gen head.

Anyway, just wanted to say what's up to everybody!!

You were just owned by the Asshat King, don't you feel dumb ;)

IIRC LSE has EGR blockoff plates too.

Yup, but they say QPR on them...might get your car bombed or something.
We are looking into having the etching removed, just not enough time recently w/the move.
