i'm doing an EGR delete and i heard that you have to turn it off with your computer is that true? or do i just cap off the intake cap of the manifold and i'm good to go

im thinking about doing the same thing.
but i hear the cons out weigh the pros.

You will have to shut it off in the computer or you will get the check engine light.

It wont effect the tune much at all and like Brys said, you'll get a CEL.

I deleted mine years ago with no ill effects.

What are the cons?

Pros:
-Cleans up engine bay
-One less thing to break

Cons:
-???

The EGR doesn't really do anything other than for emissions purposes.

how do you shut it off in the computer?

With a handheld tuner.

The EGR system improves fuel economy and power at lighter loads, mid-rpms, and while cruising, and by cooling combustion chamber temps (already burned exhaust gas cannot burn again, this reduces NOx emissions) allows a bit more timing advance under those conditions. At higher loads and low rpms it is disabled and has no negative impact on power.

It one of the emissions related things that actually helps.

well at least it cleans up the engine bay
