EGR Delete (Tune Question)

[Midnight_Cobra]

So I'm throwing up the idea of deleting all the EGR stuff. My question is...my car is tuned and I like my tune the way it is and don't need or want a retune. Can I just plug in my SCT and turn off EGR, or does it need a whole new file?

Before anyone says "just have your tuner turn it off", well he lives 2,000 miles away so that's not an option.

Thanks

Your tuner will have to turn it off in the tune. It won't give you any more performance by deleting it. But your tuner should be able to turn it off and then email you the updated tune.

So you're saying the tuner will have to email me a brand new tune...just to turn off EGR?

Well that is stupid just for EGR. Thanks for the help.

No big deal, it's the same tune with the EGR deleted. I did mine like that years ago.

Technically you can just delete the EGR and run the car like normal, however you will have a check engine light. As stated previously, you need your tuner to turn off those codes for the EGR which can be done via email.

It's not a brand new tune. He makes the changes to the copy he has of your current tune.

Correct. Existing tune gets modified.
