You can install one if you still have an OEM intake manifold. You need to figure out what parts were deleted. There are NO performance benefits to reinstalling it, by the way.

I was told by my tuner that you need it to install the anti lag software. Ecutek program

go somewhere else as he hasnt a clue, the egr valve is on the bottom of the inlet manifold under the throttle body , to run als you need the sas valve which bolts to the side of the head and connects to the upper throttle body pipe and the exhaust manifold .

If you have a US spec Evo, I assume you have an 8 or a 9. There are numerous threads on here regarding the lack of coding to support true anti-lag on the ct9 platform. A few have made it happen, but that was via open source tuning, not ECUTek. The anti-lag hardware all bolts to the exhaust side of the motor, not the intake side. EGR will not be part of that.

I had it installed

The MLR guys call it pops and bangs.

ECUTEK did claim to have offered something in that department, but I am not familiar with their software by any means.

You can install one, but for what. There is no benefit. Get tuned somewhere else with out it. I just realized your profile says Philippines. Is there another tuner you can go to?
