Removing the blower is a few steps...yeah. Fuel rail is four, 10mm nuts. That just pops right out and you can slide it aside to the right hand side of the engine bay after you've un-plugged the sensors around it on the harness and the injector clips. You'll need a 15mm wrench to push the tensioner down to remove the belt. Take apart whatever intake system you've got, unplug the throttle body...then on the back side of the blower you've got a couple worthless brackets with the main o2 plug and the MAP sensor. After all that business is out of the way, you'll need to unbolt the blower itself...be sure to unplug the BBV and any other misc. brackets like the EGR and such so you don't bend/damage stretch anything. It actually is very straight forward and simple. I even think the '04+ blower gasket is metal and re-usable. If not; they're like $10 at the blower parts store listed under the Intake Plenum Gasket. It'll come with the O-Rings and everything you'll need to stab it back on, too.Originally Posted by SC06GT
I deleted the EGR on every 3800 I've ever owned. No more carbon build-up, no issues if the valve fails, no chances of hunting a super hard to find vacuum leak via the gold accordion tubing, not to mention it really cleans up the engine bay. Nothing but positives. Some people say you lose gas mileage but I never noticed anything.
