Help, EGR bolt frozen and round'd!

Ok so as i was attempting to put my header on i realized that the EGR was completely frozen to the manifold. I've tried everything, PB blaster, 24 mm wrench, adj wrench, vise grips, hammer, heat, even Coke for Gods sake! so thanks to all my attempt the top of the bolt is round'd now. Ok so heres what i was wondering, i have a a US SR20, and i know that the JDM SR's don't have EGR, my question is.... can i cut off my EGR tube and block the intake side and plug the EGR port in the header? Will this work? Will the ECU go into limp mode? please let me know.

yes you can.......and if the check light does come on, put a 100ohm resister on the egr sensor....i think its 100ohm, you will not go into limp mode

What kind of heat did you try? A little prop torch? You should take it to a muffler shop and give them $5 to really heat up up like glowing red with an oxy/acet torch. After it cools down try some vice grips again after PBing it.

Man i think u and i were having the same Bi#$h ass problem. Yersterday i was putting on my Headers too and i run into the same problem. I ended up taking off the other end of the EGR along with the stock header. When the stock header was off i got the EGR off. It was a B$%^h bro. Just unsrew the other end of the EGR and u should be fine
