Blocking the EGR prevents carbon build up inside the inlet manifold, it will cause your turbo to spool 3 to 400 revs quicker and that's a good thing, more power.
A catch can is another good thing as it helps to keep the MAF sensor clean.
The 2.8 is a very simple instal.

No prob, a catch can is a receptacle, and with the use of some hoses, fits inline of the hose that comes from the PCV and to the inlet manifold.
The idea of the can is to trap the oil from the vapour going into the inlet.
This oily vapour plays havoc with the Maf and causes the maf to send the wrong messages to the injector pump etc.
The oily vapour and the carbon from the EGR makes a thick sticky goo that lines the inside of the inlet manifold and restricts the flow of clean air to the cylinders
Cheers, The ferret.

Catch cans are the go mate, and they're defiantly not just a diesel thing. Anything you can do to stop that soot getting back into you engine is the bees. But just remember, any modification to your pollution device is very illegal and can possibly result in a $30,000 fine. Yeah, that's right 30 gs! So just don't get caught, although usually the boys in blue know nothing of this and usually just smack you with a defect. If they even know what theyre looking at. Its in the same category as removing the cat from your vehicle
Flip er on er wheels, she'll run!
