How do i completely remove my egr valve

[overboosted1g]

I have a 1992 eagle talon tsi and i want to remove my egr valve completely but what do i do with the vaccume hoses attached to it?

Get rid of the whole hose. Just cap off what ever is at the other end. I removed mine, but i don't remember where it went. I just remember removing the hose and capping off what it was attached to.

Did you notice a difference without egr

 

[rlacasse1]

No. I didn't notice a difference at all. I blocked it off and removed the vacuum canister and all the vacuum lines at the same time. And my car ran exactly the same way it did before i removed them.

the vacuum hoses on my egr go to the t-stat housing do i unplug them and cap them?

Get a hold of some golf tees and plug them into the hose ends... They work great.

But, you can leave the setup alone since the removal doesn't increase performance or raise gas mileage.

Thanks for the help golf tees sound like a great idea

I went to a part store and bought a little box of caps. only a few dollars. They are little rubber caps that slide on to the mipples you take the hoses off of. Just follow the hose to the other end, remove it from the nipple, throw the hose on the ground, then cap the nipple. Then you don't have a bunch of rubber hoses running around in your engine bay for no reason making it look all assish.

Where do the hoses go to does anyone have a diagram so I can follow the hoses
