Since I routinely update with very little progress to at least give you pictures, I've done that yet again.



First, I got sick of hot gasses entering my intake manifold so I got my 1/8" NPT tap out and tapped the EGR hole in the head, and threw a plug in there.


For those who will say "don't use a brass plug", here's my opinion on the matter:


Brass is actually stronger than aluminum, but only by a little bit, so the metals should expand and contract at nearly the same rate, thus helping the plug stay snug in there. If (stainless) steel was used, the aluminum would expand with heat while the steel would not, thus giving the plug room to vibrate out over time.





Torqued everything down:





Got my FullBlown TB! Very nice piece indeed.
