US VS JDM Throttle Body

The one port on JDM TBs is for the charcoal canister. The other port on USDM TBs is EGR.
You dont need either to run the motor, but a USDM ECU will give you potentially dangerous situations is you dont use EGR. If you dont use EGR you should be using a JDM ECU or a piggyback to correct for the absence of EGR. Either way, you should run a charcoal canister. It doesn't harm anything at all to use it. No power loss, no weight gain, nothing. Removing it pollutes our air with gasoline vapors and can cause a potential fire hazard if you don't remove the system correctly.
I'm trying to get a USDM TB and bracket simply so I can use EGR in the future if I need to. My current TB is also missing the ability to run cruise control which is annoying. Not sure if all JDM TBs are like that or if mine is just weird.

If you don't run the jdm ecu you'll need to modify the the throttle body to fit an egr. If you don't the car won't idle correctly.
The car will idle fine.
The issue is that you will run lean in part throttle and cruise. It's been verified.
The mixed review part your getting is the "I've been running it this way and I've been fine" slogan with no data to back it up. There's a huge thread with real data about removing egr floating around. Find it if your curious.

If you still think its 50/50 you didnt read enough. Egr lowers egt and prevents a lean condition under part throttle/part load.
If you want to remove the egr system the way you're asking, I look forward to reading your future problem threads.

Look guys I wanna do the right thing. I'm gonna research more also if you can link the one your talking about I'll read it. I'll get a jdm ecu no prob. I just need to read more.. Thx, oh ya even if I did f things up I wouldn't dis this engine I would take it as a learning experience..
Look on this forum for a thread called "egr or no egr" I started the thread solely about egr and it has a lot of good information in it.
