Thankyou very much for the reply Sal, the guys are right its very nice of you to offer this information even to people who don't use you as a tuner. I am well aware of the EGR functions, I am an engineer in the automotive field (SAE member, etc) and I work almost exclusively on PCV systems, filtration and EGR functions for several OEMs such as International (powerstroke Ford), Detroit and OEM for Ford and GM. I have had my EGR removed (yes, I did retain the BAP sensor, I just bolted it onto the rear fuel rail post) for about 9 months. I did carefully check gas mileage before and after the mod as well as IAT's, EGT's, etc. The mileage was too inconsistent to make a definitive conclusion as the weather began getting much colder around the same time and we switched to winter gas. I can say its still within the same range I got before removal ~14.5mpg mixed city and highway. Thanks again for the input and I may actually be contacting you soon about a tune, plan on coming out to CA anytime soon
