Thanks for the instructions, I just did mine and it made your dirty pic look clean compared to mine. I don't know if it blew anything out when I plugged the vacum port and ran it, but it threw a check engine light for EGR malfunction I had to clear.

Should probably be noted that the CEL is normal if the EGR valve is not installed both affixed to the engine and connected electrically.

You don't have to worry about that. The mid-'02+ don't have a conventional EGR system.

I think I am going to do this and the MAF this weekend. Will the CEL light come automatically when I start it up withouth the EGR installed? If so how do you get the light to turn off?
