hello all. I bought and have been restoring a 97 Nissan pickup back to good and maintained condition. right now the rear frame is completely gutted, finally grinded down and plated where the rot was and due to cold weather just sitting with rust converter for the winter while in my garage. next spring a lot of por chemicals and por15 will be used.
until then ive been trying to figure out a way how to turbo my engine without removing or blocking the egr pipe. we do test emissions in new Hampshire for 96 and newer, and with my header installed the egr is even more of a pain to remove.
I don't want to go through turbo seals by leaving the egr open, but cant seem to figure out a way around it. possibly a ball valve installed on the pipe?? but there would be blow by of air.. I don't mind the code popping up to keep the turbo healthy, but need to keep everything good for inspection.
on a side note this truck is, and will remain 100% emission legal and such.
