Default Another EGR removal question
Ok, I have read tons of posts regarding removing the egr. But, Im wanting to make sure it is safe to remove it without getting a tune for a bit. I have heard yes its no problem, and don't do it I blew a motor without a tune yada yada. Anyone have the definitive answer? 98' trans am, A4, stock intake, exhaust, no motor mods yet besides the freebies. Soon I will be installing LT's, ORY, and catback just to give some ideas. Thanks for any tips.

Your SES light will be on and you can't pass inspection with the light on. Other than that no problem.

Ok thanks for the replies. I have already removed the air system and inspections is not a problem here in tx since I don't live in an emmissions county and it helps that I'm a licensed inspector with friends in that area lol

No egr for 3 months and everything seems fine.

I did ls6 Intake swap, I would like to tune out egr so ses light will turn off. Will something like the diablo predator tuner do this?

Same. Been going about 5 months with no issues aside from the light. Getting a Frost tune as soon as I can do without my car for a few days.
