<< I'll disconnect the EGR valve and see what happens. -I believe disconnecting it will cause it to be "open" all the time, constantly letting hot air into the intake. Don't do it. I can't physically remove it, since I need installed to to pass smog (visual, anyway). -Remove it, and put it back on in two years, when you have to smog it. BTW, the two hose connections under the intake boot (near the t/b) don't do anything with EGR, they control the airbox flapper that allows warm air in when the car is cold. I would think that would improve cold engine performance? Disconnecting it will allow only cold (outside) air into the intake. Anyone messed with this? >> -Yeah, I completely removed it. No side effects, no unwanted hot air. I live in Southern California.
