You need a tuner that disables the EGR function in order to use that elbow.

My Tuner does delete the egr valve, but not the throttle
Plate motor in the intake elbow that I removed.
I sent it back to Gear Box Z for them to re-program
It to delete the throttle control code P0488 with No
Success :-(
I'm gonna call them back ....

Wrench light has been on for 1000 miles of so.

It runs fine so far ....

The cruise control works fine.

The Throttle Flap Motor that was in stock
Intake Elbow, only regulated "air flow" when the EGR
Valve was dumping Soot into the engine.

Gear Box Z is checking into a programming "fix" for me.

I just wish I knew what Ohm Resistor to put in the wiring harness
to satisfy the PCM that the throttle valve flap motor was plugged
up & working :-(

Wrench Light on with code P0488

I used two 1K 1 Watt Resistors from Radio Shack to Satisfy the PCM that
the Throttle Motor was plugged up & working

I put one resistor between #1 black wire & #3 blue wires.

I put other resistor between the #2 green/white wire & #4 green wires.

Any Idea if this would work on a 6L?

It's possible, but I don't know for sure

Does the 6.0 have this throttle motor flap in the intake
Similar to the 6.4 setup ??

With 4 wires hooked to it ??

I never saw a 6.4 set up. The throttle body is between the intake manifold and the elbow. one side has a plug that goes to a motor that opens and closes the butterfly 3 wires and the otherside has a ?position sensor with 2 wires. I havent set up a way to download pictures yet I can try to do that this weekend. What set up does the 6.4 have?
