Thread: EGR turn off in tune?

    Question EGR turn off in tune?

    I will be ordering a tune next week once my trans finally arrives. My question is should I have the EGR turned off. IF so what do I need to use to plug the intake manifold??? Also should I have the rear O2 turned off?

    yes on both of them, you can get a blockoff plate made for the EGR or buy one i think at O'Rileys and turn the o2's off incase you ever cut the cats off

    you could find a EGR block off from 02 intake and insert it in place.

    I have an extra set of wheels like that banker as well as a set of factory Suburban/Avalanche LTZ 20's (07-08). What are your plans for wheels now?

    I have never seen a GM truck or car with an LS engine and a block off plate. Anyone got a pic? I'm curious...

    Why would anyone want to remove an EGR (doesn't hurt performance and helps keep KR down) besides its unsightliness?
