i'm trying to work out what of the egr stuff i can remove, and where i can blank thinks off.

Mine's in bits again if you want some photos of the head let me know, as for the exhaust it's off the engine is this ok for pictures you
asked for, let me know and i will do it.

It's not letting me u2u for some reason, i was going to give you my phone number as it would be easier to talk through the pictures you
wanted

cool! what i'll do is take pictures of the bits i'm asking about on mine, and then you'll know what bits i mean.
as for the exhaust, yeah, off the engine is fine, i'm thinking about how the manifold flange is done etc, whether to do a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 design
etc

Mine is a 4-1, i know Redtops prefer a 4-2-1 design but not too sure about Ecotecs

I can't get my head round this picture posting,
anyway your coil goes where the four screws are in the photo(but you knew that) as for the EGR valve i thought you would ask about that, mine has
plugs in the holes,( i wouldn't be keen on cutting that area off as it feeds the head with water from the tank) i think i have managed to get the
pictures into my archive, if not u2u me your email and i will send photos that way, at least i can do that.

i wasn't sure if i could unbolt it and blank it off (that whole alloy bracket makes it hard to lower the engine in...) the water take off only
seems to be to go to the heater i'm told, so guessed the head would still flow water around it if i removed blanked that off. but the water temp
sensor's in there...
i've made a little ali plate to bolt over the 2 holes where the EGR valve was. so that ok.
thanks for the photos though!
