Group EGR Question

[Joe_Black]

Sooo... No one has eliminated the EGR?

[WILLY]

Is it possible? cause i would do it if i could.

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I wonder how it would affect things like my burning oil problem....

So Joe, please lay upon us your knowledge about the EGR, what it does, and why we don't need it.

Here's a pretty decent wiki entry on the EGR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egr

Removing it is fairly simple with the exception of the sensor, which in my opinion is best to properly wire with a bypass to "fool" the ECU into thinking it's operating normally. These are commercially available for a number of vehicles, but for the VX we'll need to divine what will cross to it or how to make one custom. They're not really complicated, usually just a resistor or capacitor to simulate the sensor signal, but often critical to keeping the CEL off and in some cases proper engine management.
