this would not only block the egr from functioning, but also leave it in place for show (where visual inspection dictates a egr to be seen) and leave the electrical harness connected so that a check engine light wouldn't be on for a disconnected harness?

****not condoning this act nor have I tried it myself...just bored and doing waaaaay to much devious thinking.

****also not sure what effect higher cylinder temps would have on oil usage for your particular engine!

The thoughts of a Supercharged engine w/cold air intake providing a completely fresh air/fuel mixture to the cylinders devoid of reburnt exhaust sounds yummie!
Was 300 miles away from doing the usual remove EGR & clean carbon when I got the ole check engine light for the EGR. Removed..cleaned it out with Sea Foam....and said what the heck...made a blocking plate out of a wall cover switch plate from Lowe's for $1.69 and voila...runs like a rape date! No more exhaust smothering these Supercharged cylinders!
