Opinions/Advice Needed

[JayB12]

Ok. I'm getting out for winter break in college shortly, I have a "to do" list for the dsm. Here it is:

-Install EcmLink
-Replace motor mounts
-Timing belt/Water pump/ (Possibly BSE)
-Add boost source to j-pipe (T'd into BOV currently)
-EGR/Emissions Delete
-Fix Boost leaks (Throttle body shaft seals)
-Install dual catch can setup

Here's what I want to know

-I don't know about the BSE because I don't want to have oil pressure problems I don't know if I have the ability to do the OFH port mod.

-The reason I'm doing the Emissions delete is 1) My EGR is leaking during BLT's so why not just delete it while I'm at it. 2) The only place I know to put the catch can setup (Due lack of space in bay) is delete the charcoal canister and put them there. I also don't want to have weird idle issues after.
Also is there a difference (in how the car acts) between EGR blockoff vs Delete plates?

Thanks!

I really need an answer soon. The date I have scheduled for my timing belt is coming up quickly. I have a new balance shaft belt and a balance shaft elimination kit. I just need to know if I will encounter any problems from doing a BSE ie: high oil pressure ruining things. If I will I'm going to have to just replace the belt.

if you eliminate the balance shaft you will get more vibrations. it shouldn't effect oil pressure to much. the 2 main reasons people do it is because 1 the balance shaft can break and take out the main timing belt and no one wants that. 2 its basically dead weight and not COMPLETELY necessary. so you free up a little power and gain some dependability but it will vibrate more.

If you can't port the OFH, don't remove the balance shafts. You will run into oil pressure issues.
