Looking to upgrade my ALH intake manifold to a PD150 in the interest of more and better air flow to the pistons. No intercooler upgrade plans, just use the stock intercooler setup. Important here to get the correct orientation on the intake elbow to the passenger or starboard side of the vehicle.
I would like to retain the ASV function of the EGR, with no emissions testing here in PA, no need to retain the EGR emissions function, although starting warmup time and heater response is important.
The "usual" upgrade is a race pipe/delete setup with 2 options, a 51mm pipe to connect direct to stock plumbing, or a 57mm pipe with a hose adapter, 57>51. I'm thinking that if I bought a bare manifold, I should be able to buy a used pd EGR set up here on the forums and simply disable the egr valve by blocking the vacuum control line. I just did this on my existing setup and to my surprise, has thrown no code, EGR adaptation is at the minimum.
Thoughts, experience, installation tips etc, greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
