I heard or read somewhere. That the EGR valve can be removed and a plate placed over. Also, some device that lets the computer think that the EGR is still there.
I was informed that this can increase HP, but really rob your gas mileage. Any ideas on this?
Thanks for the response. No HP gain? Then what exactly is the point of doing this?
sorry to post jack
but all 99-00 have the EGR right?? and do you know the part number for the block off plate?
I happen to just win a 99-00 2200 and right now I have a 98 2200
Would i have any problems with the computer or anything if I just block the EGR
so will i have to get the simulator for the 99-00 engine to run correctly in my 98???
there are adavantages to EGR block offs... for example.. the VW 1.9 Tdi engine, I'd say average of once a week I replace an intake manifold on one of those engines... they carbon up so bad that the opening in the plenium will have about enough clearance that you can poke a pencil though it and thats about it, a finger wont fit... they carbon up so bad the car will not run, in germany they don't have that probem because they turn off the EGR system on German spec VW's but yeah its the EGR system that causes it.. WHen your adding exhaust gas to the intake track its gonna cause build up... so you wont gain power persay but in the long run you will loss less power through carbon build up in the intake
