Default Throttle body question

My TB crapped out on me and im getting a new one, heres the question If I get a new TB should I get a new EGR with it? Can I just mount the TB without the EGR plate. Do I need the EGR, im going to bypass the coolant hoses anyway its not like I need the EGR plate anway right?Im kinda on a budget so If i dont have to get a EGR plate it would save me money.

So you don't think I need to really brake them in? If I don't then I wont... But I want to make sure because I dont want to have to rebuild this one too, I did the Camino myself and it was not fun, Im sure the LSD wouldn't be any easier.

im not saying you shouldnt break them in, all im saying is that I DIDNT and so far so good.

Default RE: Throttle body question

Anyone going to answer my question?My TB is broke so I probally wont go to the track till I get a new one.....well when I got my 4.10s in, About 100ft out the parking lot of the shop I let em' rip, still no problem, now whining or any noise. I didnt break them in, the shop didnt tell me to break them in...and My gears have a life time warrenty, so If they break I get new ones so im not worried if they break.
