It's always hard to get one answer on this question as it seems there are a few ways to do this. I got the explorer gasket kit today. Was planning to pickup a felpro 1250 tmrw only for the small EGR block offs it contains. the go where the EGR holes are in the gaskets that mate the heads to the lower manifold. I was thinking this would be the best Idea bc you would never be getting that extra hot gas/air getting into the manifold in the first place. It seemed to me like if I leave this open and use the elbow to stop it it will only add excess heat to the entire intake tract basically. The TB gasket thats still on the explorer intake now is metal and shows sign of the hot air burning it coming from the EGR outlet there. I was thinking the felpro 1250 would be best way to completely get rid of this. Sucks tho that you have to drop 30 bucks for an entire kit jsut for those two plugs.

If I am going to see no excess heat or loss of power jsut keeping the hole open I won't bother with even getting the 1250.</blockquote>
