I've just bought a stainless steel manifold and I'm fitting it at weekend. The company I bought it off claim the egr valve needs blocking off although on further investigation it seems its the secondary air pump.
Anyone have any advice or info or walkthrough on this.
Cheers.

Stuck already, the air cons piping is in the way, is it safe to disconnect it or will it create problems?

Don't disconnect it you'll loose the gas.

There is a mounting for the A/C that goes on the manifold, undo this and the one further along.

You can push it out of the way. It's a twat but it can be done.

Ive had an early x16, without a/c, pas. It was piss easy taking the manifold off, but with the new x16 with pas, a/c it looks alot harder!

Wasn't too bad in the end, just a little fiddley. Everythings all up and running now, not keen on the sound, sounds a tad raspy, only slight improvement in performance aswell.
I ended up completely disconnecting the Secondary Air Pump aswell and haven't got any ecu faults, which is nice.
Got some pics taken but me batteries are flat so I'll post them up soon.

raspy and very little power increase. thats the downside of aftermarket manifolds on these engines.

Got a mantzel on the way now. The car seems a little bit more nippy, seems to be a constant pull from around 2.5k revs now aswell which is nice, still sounds shit though.
