I'm not sure if the 9 head is different but I used a 12mm NSS plug to block off the port. The hole is 10mm across, measured with a vernier, and 1/8 is 9.54mm or something. When I put the 1/8 Npt plug I had into the hole it just fell in, bit of a struggle to pull it back out. Tap a 12mm x 1.75 NSS tap about halfway in and screw in the 12mm plug. You might need to tap a bit deeper until you can screw in the plug flush. It's a very tight fit so no need for any thread locker, that sucker ain't going anywhere.

I installed a Curt Brown extreme port IM and 70mm TB and removed the EGR as outlined here. Now I am getting a P0011 (Camshaft Position 'A' Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance Bank 1) code while cruising. According to my rom I have disabled the EGR system (it says to set it to 0 to disable). I'm running Tephramod 7 on my IX. I also have HKS 272 cams but never got this before making the swap and removing the EGR stuff.
I cannot find any information on how to log mivec in evoscan but I really need to figure out why this code popped up after doing the install and removing the EGR. If anyone has any info please reach out to me. PM is good as I don't get to check the forums as often as I like.

Just did my egr delete following this thread. Does anyone have a link to a check valve used in this step: Optional: Place the check valve with the side that was connected toward the intake manifold VTA and the other end on the EVAP purge line that comes into the engine bay (the fat one where it would connect to the bracket)

It's optional to remove the evap equipment in the rear of the car. What most do primarily is use a block off plate for the EGR valve, remove the vacuum lines, solenoids. Some go as far as to remove the intake manifold and plug the port in the cylinder head for the EGR. Everything is on page 1 step by step.
