Help.

I'm trying to prep for an EGR replacement. I prefer to do it myself as I have a hard time finding trustworthy mechanics. I read the Rob Robinett how to and am not sure what he means by turbo runner pipes mentioned below

"3 replacement metal gaskets between the runner pipes and the turbo unit (I always use new gaskets whenever I break a seal) One small rubber bushing - it's the same bushing that the pressure chamber bolts go through (rubber with a small rubber sleeve in the middle). "

Do I need to special order the gaskets and bushing?
Do I need to remove the Y pipe?

Exhaust bolts always make me nervous but I also cant keep driving with the Check engine light on.

Any suggestions welcome
Many Thanks

p.s. I do have a daily driver now so my 7 is purely pleasure now!

 

I forgot to mention I have a 94 so I dont really want to disable and I've heard I should keep this EGR for lower combustion temps???

 

You live in Florida, not California. Just block it off. The EGR plays a very small role in emissions during highway cruising by lowering combustion temps. It doesn't do anything in hard driving. JDM cars didn't even have it.

 

If I just block it of the check engine light will stay on and I dont want that also Pettit recommended keeping it and I trust his experience. I wish Pettit wasnt so far away.
