Default What are these for??????????????



This is someone else's pic but my camera's quality sucks in dim light.

Well, I took the top off my SuperRam just awhile ago trying to chase my inherent vacuum leak. In mine, these ports encircled in red and green were not blocked off. There was nothing plugging up these holes. Also, what are the two holes encircled in blue for???

Those two small holes look like the EGR inlet.

You should have the pipe plugs in those threaded holes. The 2 at TB port are the EGR ports and are plumped into the same circuit as the 2 missing plugs. Without the plugs, i would think one bank would see more exhaust gases than the other.

Since I have no EGR, could I block the ones near the TB as well?

No reason to, if you have the EGR blockoff plate installed.

The red and green are what I was referring to on your other post, please tell me these are somehow hooked up. Otherwise, I think you found your vacuum leak!
