Deleting EGR?
Hey guys i searched alittle but couldnt find anything like i was looking for.
I'm thinking about deleting the EGR on my truck(2001 5.3 with full bolt ons and tune) to help keep the intake clean and to clean up the front of the engine alittle.. You guys that have done it, did you notice anything negative about deleting it?
I have heard you will lose about 2-3 mpg .. Is this true?
Thanks, Jonathon

I have it turned off in the tune but ALSO run a catch can between the driver side head and intake manifold. All the EGR does is recirculate a little bit of exhaust back into the intake. Where as the PCV valve can allow the crancase's oil mist to enter the intake. If you get it tuned to turn off the EGR, should see no lose in MPG.

Yeah i want to do the catch can/EGR delete when i do my head/cam swap in a few months but i was just gonna go ahead and get some info on it.. If i was to go to the fixed orfice PCV valve would that help with alittle oil usage and sucking it through the intake?

Not sure it matters but maybe some one else will chime in on the PCV.
