I purchased a car with this delete done and since I live in Ma, I will unfortunately have to reinstall the egr system to get a sticker. I'm wondering if anyone could list all the parts I'll need to order to complete the reinstall seeing as how they didnt come with the car. The evap system under the car was fortunately left untouched. It would be even better if someone wanted to sell me thew system as well...

I have all the EGR and Evap stuff if you want it. I just removed all the stuff off the intake manifold, I haven't made my way back to the Evap stuff in the rear of the car.
Something to clarify since I haven't looked under there yet. Is it basically one tube from the fuel tank that vents gas into the Evap system? If I want to remove the most stuff from the car (for cleanliness and weight) do I simply put a check valve in this rubber line coming from the fuel tank, or is it more in depth?

Edit:
Here is what I did, following the new method to remove the charcoal canister. I connected the two hoses (4 & 12) with a barrel that I cut off the stock charcoal canister(shown in figure 2) and capped off the bottom nipple of part 15 with a 3/8 cap(could not find a 12 mm one that it says to get in the instructions) and put the part 15 assembly back into the stock location, but rotated so the hoses have less bends.
I also disconnected the solenoid and tucked the plug up under the bumper.

Has anyone heard of the Vacuum Control Soleniod going out on a 2.0 ls lancer?? I ran a smoke test and smoke was pooring out of mine. Should this be happening??? Its the orangey red valve located on the pasenger side just above the fuel pressure regualtor.

I just got my Evo a couple of weeks ago. It has 68k miles on it. After driving it about 2k miles, the service engine soon light came on. I used my buddies reader and it shot a code saying that the egr is not sufficiently working. I do plan to do the delete soon rather than replacing my egr. How long would I have to do this before is can harm the car? I am not worried about emissions (I live in FL). I was planning to wait until I purchased a few more mods so I can have the car tuned all at once...But I will have this done sooner if it can harm my car.

Same question, is the picture in the OP the good/preferred method or the old one?

why did you cap the breather for the gas tank off? when i did that my gas tank would build up so much pressure the car would have trouble starting after a bit and i would have to open the gas cap to release pressure.

The gas tank is not capped off... The white plastic piece that the hose runs to vents up into the chassis... The bottom port is capped so dirt doesn't enter the system, but it still vents in the chassis. This is done exactly as the new preferred method instructions describe.

ok i have a question that i havent seen in this thread. if i tap the head can i leave the egr/evap setup connected for visual emissions testing and also not throw a code? would i still need to get everything turned off in the ecu? i live in Pa and i think theres a visual test.
