EGR block off

Is there any benefits to removing the egr valve from the throttle body? I am not really concerned about emissions thanks in advance

not really... the only reason I deleted mine was because I lost it while I did my motor swap

if you have no emissions there really isnt any reason for it.

yup... and I still haven't figured out how to fix it yet...
I asked my tuner to disable the EGR function with my chip... but apparently he didnt feel like doing it

If you pull the vac line off the computer deletes the egr. As far as cleaning up the engine bay deleting you will need an end-of-line resistor.

i believe the block will have to be there because of the throttle cable harness, unless something else is made up for it.

what do you mean by "end of line resistor"?
