I know there is a PCV valve that vents back into the plenum and the driver's side valve cover has a vent back into the intake tube that uses manifold vacuum. Not sure about an EGR and I don't have my ESM here.

Our VQs don't have EGR.. they use some other mechanism (don't remember what it is...)

Most newer engines with variable camshaft timing have eliminated the need for a EGR valve. The ECU will adjust the camshaft timing to achieve the same purpose as the EGR valve.
