It's related to the EGR, keep it. The header should have all the connections you need. Contact OBX to be sure.

bump. also curious about the aiv tube. so many acronyms! it seems the more technical something gets, the more acronyms people use, which confuses the hell out of people that dont know the ins and outs of engines. i work at pratt and whitney canada for my coop, and most of the time i have no friggin clue what anyone is saying because every second word is an acronym for something :S

AIV = Air Intake Valve, it's a little valve that has to do with the letting exhaust gases into the intake stream, a little emissions diddy that may be a US-only item.

Some one made a post a while ago in gen chat about car related acronyms. It was a big list and had a lot on it. You could search for it.
