114507, Guess thats what I get... Posted by Agas, Aug-29-08 09:52 AM Guess that's what I get for not using high temperature vac hoses behind my intake manifold... | |

114508, RE: Guess thats what I get... Posted by DR1665, Aug-29-08 10:06 AM NICE! EGR pipe strikes again! :order I bought that shitty, Autozone "Spectre" kit once too. Hoses weren't good for anything other than leaking. If you want the blue hose, search RRE's site for the Larsen Hose Kit. It's quality. | |

114509, RE: Guess thats what I get... Posted by Fallen4ng31, Aug-29-08 02:48 PM True that. If you don't have to pass inspections/etc. Remove the EGR, and deal with the CEL. EGR serves two purposes clogging up your IM, and causing your intake charge to be hotter during idle/cruise. F*** the atmosphere. :P | |

114510, RE: Guess thats what I get... Posted by 96TurboGS, Aug-29-08 03:05 PM Damn!!! EGR pipe is a beast; I still wouldn’t take it off tho because I want my good gas mileage, lol. I exhaust rapped mine, haven’t had a problem since. It melted a number of things on the engine harness and my safc line witch left me on the side of the road. Its one of the bastards on my car, a costly bastard that is. Zip ties will become your best friend.... | |

114514, RE: Guess thats what I get... Posted by 96TurboGS, Aug-30-08 05:03 PM Idk, I noticed my gas mileage start to drop as soon as I took it off, not by much, but by a little. I know it will keep the gunk out of my intake manifold but what else? Don’t have time to fight EGR codes nor mess with the EGR any, not like I’m going to see any gains anyways from it. The question that I always wanted to know was if there is never any hot air coming into the manifold; wouldn’t that affect the ecu's fuel mixture because the IAT sensor never sees hot air from the EGR???? | |
