I -thought- it was a metered orifice that flowed at a known rate and as long as you provided it with a supply of fresh filtered air, the ECM took account for it in the tune.

No?
The OP is calling it an EGR fitting, and you're thinking PCV. It is neither, its for the evap purge solenoid to hook to for pulling fumes out of the gas tank. Its not needed on a non emmissions friendly swap.
