Almost done with this blower install, just waiting on a few parts. There is a red vaccum line that usually plugs into the intake but now i have my MSD 6btm hooked in there.Should I tee it into that line along with the bypassvalve and boost gauge?

You can or you can just plug it until your emissions its for the egr canister in the fenderwell.

If you still have your EGR valve or smog pump on your car, you are going to have to find some way to hook it up so thoes parts can get vaccume to work. Do you have an extra place on your intake to place another fitting for it? If not just T into another vaccume line and hook it there.

The egr is worthless w/o the smog they work together.

you can also cap the header and the EGR... Just remove that tube going from the header to the EGR valve and find a cap for both spots.

You'll only get a CE light if you take the whole valve off and leave it unplugged. What you can do, which is simple, is seperate the two pieces of the EGR (few screws) then find a way to hold the plunger down 1/2 way and block off the hole on the intake. 30min at the most to do all of that including making a plate out of metal to block off the intake... Joe, we should have instructions in the sticky about removing the EGR
