EGR, don't bother plugging it in, you'll remove it in your tune anyway. You can pull it out and replace it with a plug, or anything that won't leave a vacuum leak.

Actually its the EVAP solenoid, but still the same answer. Plug it and have your tuner turn off all the EVAP codes.

^you are correct. I just pulled it out and threw it in the garbage either way

So what are people using to plug the EVAP/EGR hole?

I left the evap in place and put a rubber nipple/cap over the tubing. It's all hidden under the cover anyways.

X2, or if you're an oger like me and break the thing off a 1/4 NPT plug will screw in.
