Yeah the first one is the smog pump I'd just leave it like it is don't know about 2nd one I'm on my blackberry and can't make out the pic real well

Emissions crap.

First one is the smog pump, it's bypassed already by use of a smaller belt which is the way to do it. Now unbolt it and plug the ports that run to the back of both heads.

With that smog pump disabled, make sure you don't have the stock h pipe with stock cats or it'll over heat and clog up on you unless they've been gutted.

The second pic is of the egr solenoid which is bolted to your pas shock tower. It's for the egr valve that's bolted to the back of your egr spacer between the throttlebody and upper intake. You can yank it if you don't plan on running your egr and from that picture looks like it's missing the cap and filter so i'd ditch it and buy a block off plate to remove that egr valve as well.

+1
That valve has two vac lines on it, one is attached to the manifold for the vac source and the other runs to the EGR to open and close it. If you disconnect that valve, remove and plug those lines so you don't get a vac leak.

just leave the EGR. take everything else off

NightMare50 · April 26th, 2009, 03:53 PM

okay ill probably leave it its like $20 to replace.... now with the smog pump how do i plug up the holes and do i have to change the exhaust from the headers back

You'll have to change the midpipe if you have cats.

Chris951 · April 26th, 2009, 08:17 PM
