   if it was an EGR valve it would recirculate exhaust gasses, which it doesnt, so its not. it pumps fresh air into exhuast ports for 10 secs on startup, for emission reasons.

   So you can literallly just rip these and the pump out with no negative effects? Or can you only rip it off with an after-market mani?
