Is there any benefits to deleting the EGR? Pro's and Con's etc anyone?
I been trying to research and came across a couple of threads saying there's an EGR Delete Kit? Was wondering where.

Pro: slightly cleaner intake, easier tuning, less engine bay clutter, less leak points
Con: Slightly less mpg (like 1 mpg), can increase kr very slightly
Don't waste money on the kit. Take off egr system, cut the egr pipes, take the brackets left over, take a penny and take some high temp copper rtv and use it to secure and seal the penny. Then re-install flanges and let dry. That's my 2 cents!
Thanks Scotty, forgot to mention that. He's right because the egr is a metered vacuum leak, plus the exhaust gases affect the combustion process. Once tuned, delete as above. Good news is even canned tunes work for this.
Thanks! Yeah, that last part from Scotty was good to know because I was going to get on that today... So if I'm understanding correctly, No EGR delete until I get a tune?
Where's the best site to get a canned tune? ZZP?
Also when it's time to block off EGR. Which section will be blocked off and left alone or even open? 1, 2 or 3 (Refer to image below)

you block off 2 and 1 take the rest off and toss it in the trash can lol
i made my own block off's. 1 inch flat stock, drill a hole for the bolt, then cut it to length so it covers the hole rtv around the hole and bolt it down. free block off's.
I personally ran for years with the EGR deleted before I tuned it out. And I actually saw a small increase in mpg.
Here's what it should look like in both sides to give you a better picture:
Sorry for the egr plug hanging down and you won't have some of that tubing (or headers) there so it might look a bit different.

Ooh, ok! Even better! 2 Penny's haha. I like that. Thanks for that visual. Made it a lot easier for me.

ill let ya in on a secret, lol not really, but you just dont know yet, egr tube on the exhaust manifold, its bolt head is on the back side, threads into the egr tab. its fun to get off.....
Haha Yeah! I was like, why would they! I took it off and tried threading it in the way it made sense. I had that feeling as if my best friend gave me a cheat code that I will never die but it didn't work haa.
