Haha well once I get it to start I can check and make sure there aren’t any other problems and then schedule a tune before I do any Smokey burn out vids lol
Joshuaw3's 96 gt build

Trying to cover all my bases here. I deleted the egr since the turbo headers don’t have a port for it and I don’t need it here in Ohio. What all should be removed? I know the egr and the tube but what else is part of the system and can be removed. Is there anything that shouldn’t be removed that involves the egr, anything that needs plugged other than the throttle body?
I’m no help on this part for a mod car. White95, lwarrior, blak, or any of the other mod guys would know.

97stanger and nick......can’t remember full name. They both have 2v turbo builds that are up and running. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to chime in and help out. They’ve got pretty badass builds.

Make sure to cap the vacuum line that ran to the egr solenoid. Otherwise sounds like you pretty much got it

Lol no. After it runs rough like that for a minute it starts to idle smoothly around 1300 rpms definitely need a tune
I’m looking at getting a oil pressure gauge and coolant temperature gauge are there any that are electrical that can just reuse the factory sensor locations?
You’d be best off to run a new sensing unit and fresh line for each but it’s all personal preference

An electronic auto meter oil pressure gauge will come with a sender that will screw in to the stock pressure sensor location but it will take place of the stock switch so your light will be on the dash.
Coolant temp is a little different, you need both sensors on the car so you have to find another spot for that sensor. Some blocks have a 3/8 threaded plug in the side of the block, I think driver side.

If your gonna be tuning with an sct x4 or livewire I just use it as my source for coolant temp readings.
My main reason for doing these gauges is because my oil pressure isn’t reading on the gauge in the car I know I have oil pressure but I want the gauge to work. So I figured I’d get a better aftermarket one that will actually tell me the pressure. Getting an x4 would make sense though.

at the point that the oil pressure gauge is already dead then just pull the stock sender out and put in your aftermarket. As they said the gauge in the dash will remain dead but you will have real time data which is much better
Our factory gauges suck arse. Coolant sensors are the only ones that the ecm really needs. Replace anything else with real gauges and the sending units that they come with.

An aftermarket oil pressure gauge isnt a bad idea at all but I warn you.... its all you will stare at from now on lol.... I know I do.

I have the cure for that. Install a AFR gauge....
