My valve gasket just broke while driving, hurd a whistle noise and just checked it out. seems to be that the gasket just crumbled away. Is there a block off that is available, can i custom make one, or do i have to have this?

 

They have them on ebay cheap. Just search for a dsm one. Its the same thing for the evo.

 

Using a block off plate will set a code.

 

So if i were to get an intake manifold, does this keep the EGR? Do i really need this? i thought it was just for emissions....

 

it is for emisions... and the emissions is something the ECu checks for.. so it will throw a code.. doesnt mean it wont run.. you'll just have a CEL

 

ok gotcha. so anything good will come from this?
