Turbo manifold question

A quick question.....

I'm in the process of making my own turbo manifold for my NB8a.

My question is do i need the "egr" or what ever that pesky line is coming out of the number 4 runner on the standard headers ? (the line that goes around behind the motor and into the exhaust manifold)

Can i just plug it ? I'll be running an adaptronic ecu.

any help apprciated

You don't "need" it.
It's an emissions thing.

You can block it off with a steel plate at the intake manifold, which will remove the whole line completely.

NB's in Japan came without the EGR.
