I just bought an intake manifold off a guy from another forum. He told me it was from a car with a manual tranny. But it has an EGR valve on it. Is this normal?

(Obviously this is for a 90-91 B18A)

According to my Haynes manuals, some automatics had this but it doesnt say crap about manuals. The reason I'm concerned is that I will have to take this car to a smog ref some day and all the vacuum hoses will have to be connected (i.e. not plugged). The intake manifold from an auto I believe has an extra vacuum line as well as an EGR valve, but I'm not 100% sure. Before I accuse this guy of lying to me I need to be sure.

Anyone know the answer?

ive always thought EGR vavles were manditory on all cars to pass emissions. look on your engine now, does it have and EGR?

This point is moot. Whether or not my car has one now has nothing to do with whether or not the B18a needs one.

I'll try to post some pics later.
