That line runs around the back of the engine and connects to the intake manifold, along with the EGR valve. I took off my intake manifold to take that stuff off, but you might not have to. Just look at and see if its possible to take off without removing the mani itself.

Then you can get a CNCd piece of steel off ebay for less than 10 bucks thats called an EGR block-off plate. Good stuff, and your old bolts line right up.

Im not sure what that is in your last pic, obd2 s14 dont have that. Just follow the line and see where it goes.

You can either remove the egr, copy with a plate a steel and make a block off plate. Either remove all your emissions or none.

I have a bung (new/unused) made for blocking off the EGR tube in your first pic. Its to allow you to block if off with out having to remove the intake mani to get to the egr or drill the bung out and connect it back to the downpipe. Sell it to you for $18 buck shipped or JGS has if for the same price but will charge you for shipping. email if interested [email protected]

alright, well i finally had time to take some more pix of what is connected to the 2nd pix i showed before.and here it is.......the one with the T

and something same as the 2nd pix before.......

i was also wondering is there any lines on the first pix that i might not need anymore?

aslo i need a diagram on doing my autometer boost/vacum gauge installation and what line goes to my wastegate?

i check out some diagram but then they look too confuseing

everything else was done and installed until i reach this point

the turbo im running is a 91 ka24de w/ sr t25

still a noob on turbos,vacum lines etc.......

i used a three way tee on my vacuum lines. one running to the wastegate one to the compressor pipe and the other to the fuel pressure regulator. for my boost gauge i tried various lines on the intake, but everything still showed vacuum, even under boost, so i just tapped in to the line going from the fuel pressure regulator to the compressor pipe and wastegate.
