stanglx2002 how do u delete the coolant lines to the EGR spacer, block off the EGR valve?
take the vaccum line off the EGR valve and plug it up. Then take the coolant lines that go to the spacer off and cut them short enough to put a bolt and clamp on them so coolant cant come out of them then plug the holes to the spacer. Also i forgot to list deleting the crankcase venting tube- the tube thats goes from the oil fill tube to the tb. Plug both holes and put a breather on the top of the oil fill tube that will stop oil from going in to the tb and gumming everything up.

you can leave the vacuum line to the EGR and still bypass the coolant lines, i didnt plug the lines, i got a piece of 1/4" steel brake line 6" long and hooked them together, no need to plug the coolant passages into the spacer afterwards either. also, deleting the crankcase vent tube can cause positive crankcase pressure which causes loss of power, and oil leaks to name a few things. even with the breather type oil caps the pressure is higher. the tube that goes to the intake actually draws the pressure from the crankase helping to make power, and unless you remove the baffle inside the valve covers oil wont get sucked sucked into the intake by this tube, oil vapor will, which is good for upper cylinder and combustion chamber lubing.
