nope, it only pulls in air when the EGR valve is open so it wouldnt effect anything at all except the car might run a bit leaner when the ecu tells the EGR to open
and alex, yea i know, ive had so many problems its ridiculous
hopefully ill get it sorted out cuz this car is starting to annoy me

The open EGR isn't a vacuum leak, per se. It's pulling in unmetered air which will affect the a/f system in balancing the ratio and controlling air, but the valve isn't open always. I wouldn't do this, but it shouldn't affect idle or anything.
And also, why won't soapy water work? I've done this and seen this done numerous times to find vac leaks...

Ahhh, gotcha. I thought soapy water was for air leaks, for like tires and air coming out, not pulling in. How would you be able to tell if there is a vacuum leak with soapy water? I'm not being a smartass, I'm just curious as I might give it a try to see if I have any more leaking vacuum lines.
Lol, I get what your saying because a vacuum leak is not a "leak", per se. But actually pulling in unmetered air, not leaking it. But to my knowledge the flow of air can still cause bubbles to form around the vac leak.
Someone else can probably explain it better, or come along and tell me I'm wrong... I'm sure you'll get an answer one way or another. (shrug)

I ALWAYS wanted to turbo my P5 but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford it. That's why I want an MSP, and there is a clean silver 03.5 in Farmers Branch, Tx that I want to go look at as soon as I get my insurance check.
Thank you for your informative post, good sir. I hope you have a pleasant day. Thank you.

Nice, it comes up quickly man, let me tell ya.
Actually its 1230am and I finished the bushings and a couple of other things that were bothering me.
like the dust cover for my coilovers were cracked and warped so that when the spring compressed it would make this clicking sound. Done and going to get a replacement from Tein.
cleaned up my trunk area that was full for loose tools and what not.
figured out what that crackle from my front speakers where coming from. (loose ground connection)
But overall the bushing was easier than expected. The way I did it was with no sockets. only wrenches. Its the only way to go. Including jacking up the car and what not it only took me 45 min.
edit. Im going to make a How to.
