EGR delete Pros & Cons

Just have your tuner turn it off.
Depending on how old your Predator is, you might be able to turn it off yourself. If not, see below.
Yup
No, I probably should have, though, because now they are not visible at all without removing the firewall cover, and cowl cover. They are mounted to the innermost firewall on the passenger side, and I just had to lengthen the wires for the connectors, and use longer vac tubes. Everything feed through the firewall near the firewall mount for my MM STB, and is all contained in a single 3/4" corrugated wire loom, so it disappears from sight, and looks like it belongs there.;-)
I found a thread on here, either in this section, or in the how to area called "boost bypass delete - the correct way", or something to that effect. I'll see if I can find it, and I put the link in here, but that by itself is a nice mod, and cleans up a good bit of unnecessary tubing.
edit, here is the link to that how to thread:

Marc, cool pics. Thanks for posting them. Question on that fuel line in the front of your blower going over it from one rail to the other. Was there no easy way to run it under the snout of the front of the blower? Or did you just not worry about it and run it over the top? Your engine bay looks really nice BTW.
I asked about this because I thought the same thing. I was told it was supposed to run over the top of the blower. If anyone hears anything different, let me know. I would much rather run it under the snout.
Nah you can run it anyway you like. I think the tricky part is just getting the hose to go under the front without using a bunch of 90 degree bends etc. that would hurt flow. If there's a smooth enough way to route that hose you'd be set. I just have my blower mocked up on there now and don't have the actual hose etc. to see how it would bend or not bend etc.
Yup no worries. You may get a check engine light but it won't hurt anything.
You should do it malcolm. I plan on doing it, looks so much cleaner. Btw the 2.2 comes tuesday! Super pumped. You should pm me your number.
That's awesome Ross. Put up some pics when that KB 2.2 arrives.
As for the EGR I have the delete kit and I am indeed installing it. I was trying to get some feed back from others that had done this mod without other changes on gas mileage. Unfortunately I'm changing fuel systems, pulling off the eaton and putting on a whipple and running a brand new tune so I will have no clue one way or the other what if any difference the EGR delete did.

Exactly you're gonna have such a huge smile on your face that you won't even care about the gas!
LOL oh yeah cause gas is so cheap I shouldn't try and use it efficiently at all. In fact I told my tuner to run my car rich as hell so tons of unburnt fuel keeps the mosquitoes away and every time I fill up I usually pump a couple extra gallons in the trash can next to the pump for good measure.
^^ Ha LMAO!
I've never noticed a difference in mpg on any car I've done an egr delete on.
Shouldn't stop you from fogging mosquitos with gas, or buying a prius :burn:
Just joking
epper::banana::fart:
Anybody know if there are any ill affects doing this without a re-tune?
I can live with a CEL until I get to a tuner if thats all that happens.
