if you delete the EGR system, then do it properly and fool the ECU into thinking that you still have it. Otherwise, that pesky CEL will be on all the time! Same thing applies to the cat deletion as well.

As far as deleting the EGR system, I was thinking, would it be a good idea to simply prevent the hot air from #6 going around the back of #6 cyl? When you look at the exh manifold, you'll see that there's a way to weld that hole shut so that no hot exh gas can enter the tiny passageway behind #6 cyl. This way, no more heat is heating up the #6 jacket. If you were to simply build a EGR blocking plate and place in the place of the EGR pipe, you still have the hot exh gas trapped in that area and that concerns me over a long term.

Just some food for thought!
