Thread: EGR to be or not to be

yeh I’m not so sure about blanking it out have read it can give you problems in other ways

Im just going to replace my faulty one and let it do its job

As already mentioned, if you blank it, you need to tune it out.

Blanking cures issues, as in the heat exchange is unlikely to crack internally.
As for causing other issues, that just internet bs.
