Hey, I started driving my 89 coupe again, and got to thinking about a turbo conversion, or putting a turbo 2.3 in maybe my 82. I have an 83 and an 87 TC in the back for donors. The 87 ran on an off the trailer seven years ago.

Anyway in reading up on this, one question that comes up is do you still use and connect the egr solenoid on the engine after the conversion. All the notes say no, I think. But my turbo donors both have egr systems.

What do you do with the egr on the turbo setup.

I never used the EGR on my turbo coupe. It was easier to block it off especially since that stuff is always all rusty anyway.

I deleted mine and haven't had any issues. There are those that swear you should keep it. Like Red_LX alluded though, mine was in bad shape as well.
