Twin throttle bodies can be a pain to work with, but I'm glad you were able to make it work. Looks Great!

what did it end up costing you and what did you use to house the air filter? Just my humble option on the egr I would put it back on I'm not sure how I'm not much of a motor head but after reading the wiki it seems to make since to put it back on.
