Deleting EGR questions

bigaF250 · Feb 22, 2014

Only mods are DPF delete and tunes. Would deleting the egr without a wastegate be a bad idea? Very rarely run the performance tune, mainly just tow and street. In time turbo, wastegate and studs. Am I playing with fire?

9/10 people on this forum running an egr delete w/out added fuel is running without a wastegate

No wastegate needed on stock fuel.

It will be fine.

I was running no gate for almost a year. You'll be fine.

Perfect. And nobody has studs?

I'm studded. Some guys have good luck with a tune and stock head bolts, others don't. My buddy has the stock head bolts and he hauls a lot on the mild tunes with no gate and he has no issues. But he's doing studs here soon.

Studs will be soon. I'm waiting for my wallet to recover from the transmission I rebuilding now but I've got a leak in one of the coolers so they gotta go

You can make a set of block off plates and slide them in to get you by.

I'm running no wastegate but have blown my up pipe. Can't say it was a result of it or my go fast foot playing too hard.

OK so watch the bellows, back pressure, and weird swirls in oil puddles on the ground after I knock my heads through the hood...... check!
