Changing over to a composite intake??

[agrich2]

Anyone has any luck changing over their intake. I bought a new one that has no egr hook up on it but all the micro-fiche shows an egr inlet.
I have a 1999 3.0l that I have all but replaced the engine and I polished the lower intake and put roller rockers on it. Now I am looking at putting this intake on it on it appears to be more to it than a simple swap.

1. Where does the egr go??
2. Do you have to buy all of the 2003 PCV hosing??
3. What did you do about the throttle body and throttle cable
4. Did you have any issues with the throttle body freezing since there is no hook ups from the coolant anymore???
5. Did you have to fab up a new boot to the intake filter housing?


Thanks,
Aden

I did this on my 99' a couple years ago. Here's the link: http://www.ranger-forums.com/2-9l-3-0l-v6-tech-32/finally-installed-my-composite-upper-133037/

1. You eliminate the EGR and all it's components.
2. You will need the 03' brake booster and PCV hoses, your existing vacuum lines can be re-routed to work and you will have some left over.
3. Stock throttle cable, some tweaking will be needed to the stock TC bracket 0ff the 03' and you will have to use the TB designed for the composite intake.
4. Zero issues with freezing, 01' up 3.0's come with this setup from the factory.
5. You will need a 01-03' intake tube, the newer tube doesn't have a IAC sensor hole--I relocated mine to the airbox.
