Have been searching - cannot find it? Can someone walk me thru the steps, please?

 

I am still unsure if the IX even has an EGR.

 

I have an VIII now

 

You can get an EGR blockoff plate to cover the holes and be able to remove the EGR valve and solenoid. I have one available if you want to make me an offer, its a Buschur part btw. I am not sure what you would do with the vacuum lines. I just had the plate mounted between the manifold and the EGR valve and never got a light by leaving the valve on the car.

 

Get an AMS VSR intake, that'll get rid of your EGR.

agh, Luda. My car won't need something like that, man. I just want to go around a track fast and need the low end grunt...

 

why would you want to remove your egr? its gonna make your gas mileage worst.

 

what dose a egr do any ways

 

Helps with emissions...Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve... Bleeds exhaust gasses back thru the intake to slightly dilute the charge..

 

o cool thanks

 

Its pretty easy, call buschur they have an EGR block of plate.
You will need two shorter bolts as well.

You pull the main solenoid, all the lines, and the control solenoid as well. You will have to use either caps or a short piece of vac line to cover up the two nipples that will be sticking of the throttle body now.

 

you can use anything to block it off... my friend just blocked his off with a little peice of steel just drilled 2 hols and used some rtv....good to go.

 

I am a super n00b, dudi - I know how to lighten Evo's, thats about it! got a pic of the valve location and the solenoid!

 

if your looking into the engine bay look up byy the right side of the intake manifold... you'll see some vacume lines running into it...

 

sure thing.

The green is the EVAP canister solenoid. While your under there I figured you might want to take that off as well.


You can even take off the large black intake manifold bracket if you so desire. That will save another 1-2 lbs.
