EGR under FI

Following the instructions from ADC I crushed closed the end of the EGR tube that previously ran to the rear manifold. They say the EGR system is not used on a turboed contour. Doing this leaves the two tubes that lead to the differential pressure feedback sensor just hanging there. What should be done with these guys? Are they a vaccum source and require plugging?

I still have my DPFE hoses plugged into the EGR tube (which is crushed at the low end). From the top, everything looks copasetic.

Wow! I take offense to that stance. ADC is way wrong in this.

EGR isn't used at WOT throttle ANYWAY so it won't be affected by the turbo other than you need to clamp the hoses on tight so they aren't blown off by the higher exhaust pressure!

Also, I maintained a fully operational EGR and catalytic converter all the years I owned my car!
I may like to go fast but when daily driving the car was somewhat environmentally responsible. As far as power....you can still make plenty of power with that hardware!#E*&#^*%

How many people without cats on their car were exceeding the power I had??? Answer is few.
