Default Found my EGR issue: why I'm an idiot

So while I was finishing up getting my gauges installed, I decided to dive into the EGR system to see why it was throwing a CEL after i swapped turbos.

Turns out that I had the two hoses on the solenoid that sits on top of the radiator backwards.

Whoops.

Haha, I had a very similar incident when I forgot to plug my MAF back in after installing Snabbs intake pipe. Actually took it into my buddies shop to see if he could see what was up. Soon as I popped the hood to show him The pipe and my install, I then noticed the MAF unplugged. Felt like a total and complete idiot. Lol.
