EGR valve on or off?
« on: February 04, 2011, 11:30:30 PM »
is the EGR hurting my performance on a 2.3 turbo? i left it on but i know it really increases intake temp and recirculating exhaust gasses cannot be good for performance

I rin my semi stock 2.3 with the egr off. It's an epensive part and I don't reruire emmmisions testing in idaho.  I noticed a very small increase in accelleration.
