Another VW question

Recommended Posts

So I am in the process (still) of swapping motors out in a 99 Cabrio. I went and picked up a 2.0 out of a 98 to put in this thing. I got the old motor out only to realize there is 1 difference in the motors. The old one had an EGR valve that ran from the head to the exhaust manifold, this new one doesnt have that set.

 

Before anyone says "just swap manifolds", its not doable, the old manifold was so rusted (bolts) that we had to cut it off in order to get the motor out. What are my options here?

 

1. Say screw it and not worry about the EGR (will ecu look for this)?

2. Find correct manifold (haha good luck finding a VW in a yard around here)

What year do you know? Also where at, I was just there last week and found 2 jettas (no parts I needed) and a completely stripped Passat

 

It was an 01 02 up front by the little building that's about to fall down. Might not be there anymore but was like 2- 3 weeks ago
