Hi,
I recently broke the EGR cooler bellows and I want to get rid of the cooler but it is an Automatic. I searched around and all of the remedies appear to be piecemealed together along with what to buy.
I don't mind spending money on the right kit or kits. I just don't want to deal with the EGR cooler again as it blocks the way to the intake manifold and makes work that much harder when I am in that area...especially pulling the turbo, etc.
I don't want to lose access to the ASV in case there is a runaway though.
Could someone please provide a clear path forward so that I can get this car running? I am prepared to deal with slower warmups. I am willing to live with the check engine light and/or pay to get it removed. I just don't want the cooler obstructing my way again or having the bellows break on me.
Trying to get everything ordered up from IDparts as soon as possible, but not sure if they have everything that I need to make this one and done.
Thanks.
