I'm using a combo of CAD and good old fashioned number crunching to determine as much as possible. Some things will just be necessitated by available space. There's a ton of good info here - http://www.not2fast.com/gasflow/Lecture08/Lecture08_files/v3_document.htm

I have not had an EGR on my car since 2002... "Cold Start Issues" such as what?

I guess I never gave a s*** about that.. We don't need to pass emmisions testing here..

haha yea i hear that we don't have emissions testing where I'm at either. it's weird the southern half of VA doesn't have emissions testing but the northern half does.

Anyone ever made an EGR sim? I did a quick google search and there are instructions for the valve simulator but no mention of the boost sensor. I believe in our cars it not only detects the presence of the valve but that it is operating correctly by measuring the vacuum decrease when the valve opens.
I would be all for getting rid of the EGR altogether but not at the expense of a CEL.

I haven't made much tangible progress. I've been working on an EGR delete that won't result in a CEL, and won't result in cold start issues. The more I look at it the more I really don't want to include EGR so I need to find a solution that everyone will be happy with. EGR really messes with the design of the manifold unless I do the homedepot gas line for EGR, but I don't like the look of it. I'll make some decisions and finish the mold in a couple weeks. School is out on June 6th so I'll finally have the time this deserves.
How do you plan on fooling the PCM to not throw a CEL?

Thats part of what I've been looking into. Most CELs are thrown based on a resistance or voltage value not being in an expected range. I just need to find out what the ECU is looking for and then fooling it shouldn't be that hard.

I don't think it would be terrible, but it would certainly shift the power higher in the revs. It would be a gamble.

would this be the manifold that i would need? remember on install of dp and exhaust we found out my mani was cracked...so my question is this the one where the turbo connects to or is it the one at the rear of engine?
thanks
thanks

Here's the link for the exhaust manifolds
Manifolds are beginning to ship with the second one going out this week. Manifolds 3-7 will be going out the door over then next 2-3 weeks. All current orders will be shipped by the end of June. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to help you out.
