Some have them some dont. Being a Cali truck I bet you have one. Look on the Passenger side if your engine between the turbo and the head. If you have one you should she this round thing about the size of a spray paint can. It should have a flange on the back of it leading down to the passenger side up pipe.

Yes you have a wastegate. All LB7s have them.

turbo is actually blown in that picture..
when i blocked it i noticed incease turbo spool repsones... even notice at random time the truck just falls on its face? thats the egr opening up.. it bypasses exhaust that woul normally drive the turbo to the intake..

the butterfly flap in the intake horn i removed (two screws) egr cooler log completly removed.
i also replaced the up pipe with a 49 state up pipe.. with no egr riser.

banks big head yes... could be done for cheaper though.

I removed all my egr crap. I made block off plates out of the original egr cooler flanges. I removed the egr valve and made a stainless blockoff plate. I removed the butterfly from the intake horn. I used EFI Live and put in a federal emissions OS.

It will just set an EGR insuffient flow code. I can't remember what number the code is. It will not limp or suffer performance wise. Here soon my vac pump and all those solenoids are gonna dissappear and belt will get changed.

Thats what I plan to do to. I just need to get rid off the codes soon... Sucks.

Someone told me the difference in fueling between the egr and non egr trucks is significant yet my truck runs harder than any other Ive been in... Did you notice a difference after you went to a non egr program?
