I bit of more than I can chew!
I've posted this in the all motor forum but I know that not everyone here in the boosted forum reads the motor posts, and I need all the help I can get. Please don't crucify me.
Here is the situation. The car is a 96 se 5 speed with a PFI turbo kit. Recently The RVM under drive pulley decided that it wanted to back out 2 screws from the timing ring on the back of the pulley. Subsequently the two bolts that backed out went threw the timing chain cover, drained the oil and I lost compression in 5 and 6. Naturally a motor swap is in order. I've posted this dilemma in the boosted forum and Matty suggested a DE-K motor. I bought a DE-k and got the sucker home, just pulled the DE from the car and I am now confused on the wiring of the EGR system. I have looked at the FSM for the 98 max in the stickies and it is way more complicated than the 2001 model. I have read the posts on how to install the 00IV IM on the 4th gen but there is not much info on the whole motor swap. I could just throw on the 4th gen IM but it would be a shame to let the fantastical goodness of the 00IV to go to waste. I would just do away with the whole EGR system but emissions in good ol Chattanooga just started and they are not letting anything slide on modified cars. A-holes!!!!!
Further more there is no EVAP equipment on the DE-K but I'm sure I can make the de system work. I have the Deachwerks 570 side flow injectors and will start the modification of the lower IM as soon as I finish this post.
I think I've read every post on this situation but some of those thinks can get buried. I need all the help I can get, and only have two weeks to finish.
Thanks,
Choray

The POS runs but I'm throwing a p0450, and a p1445 codes. I have some spare evap and egr parts to swap out, to see what happens. I have to get the emissions checked before the end of the month, so I'll more that likely just end up geting a 95 ECU and just chunk both systems.
