Ok...here's another part that involves some involvement on your part...other than bolt this there and go. The connections of the EGR tube used between the standard manifold and the GT manifold are different. Here is a picture of what Bob supplies us with...



What you are going to have to do is cut the elbow section off of the old EGR tube. Test fit the GT manifold into place and look to see about how far down you are going to have to cut. Mark it, get your pipe cutter, and twist away!



Before you slip the new end connection into the tube...get something like JB Weld putty to cement it together and hold it in place. Here's a picture of it all in place with a big chunck of JB Weld...

DOUBLE/TRIPLE check the location before you cut. this is real important. We also did not just "weld" the fitting in. I used a pipe flaring fit & "crushed the tube a bit" so the fitting would have somthing to bite into when I screwed it in. I didn't want it to pop out under pressure.
If you are gonna add a turbo later, all vaccuum lines should be clamped.
BTW, that was a JB weld type of product that you can use to repair exhaust leaks & cracked exhuast manifolds with. (high temp stuff (non JB weld brand))

Like BOB said before, this is a enabler mod. Don't expect a rocket. what it does is eliminate the last bit of restriction in air flow going into the engine. You should think about the back side also... headers, hi-perf cat, 2.5" or better exhaust.
I am no expert or certified mechanic. We have only ran "seat of pants dyno" But I like what I did for my car.

You should think twice before performing this mod, it is a lot of work & ANYTHING can go wrong!!! We know
But if you take your time, & double/triple/quadruple check your work before you reconnect the battery... all should go well.
& if it doesn't, DON"T PANIC!!!. Shut the car off & CHECK ALL VACCUUM LINES, PLUGS & BOLTS to make sure they are installed correctly & tight.
Install time for this in Driveway without power tools is around 4-6 hrs. (does not include 3 trips to parts store)

hope my editing helps a bit more.
