Guys,

I've a lot about benefits of EGR delete like:-
- More power/more oxygen going into the engine
- Cleaner exhaust gases as not re-circulation is taking place.
- No EGR blockages etc etc

Speed Test

What are the downside of doing an EGR delete. Surely it must be bad for the engine because :-

- Higher temperature buildup in the engine, as gases are no longer being cooled and re-circulated
- More crap being deposited in the oil as the gases stay in the engine. ie oil gets dirty'er quicker
- Would it increase pressure in the engine as cannot escape.

Anyone got any more ideas about disadvantages of EGR delete ???

I've cleaned the exhaust side of the EGR coolers on both cars and have left them intact and functioning as stock. I personally don't feel a need to remove the EGR systems, but many do. YMMV.
