Morning All...several posts talked about removing the EGR valve from the system as a source of a slow leak. Assuming that my slow leak is not related to the EGR, is there a value to removing EGR from the from the system. If so what are the benefits.
Blame it on the stupid overly strict idiotic EPA requirements. Blame it on the Jeep's inability to a decent design. The the Liberty CRD's intake system is a sludge machine that gums up sensors and parts creating a nasty, gummy, sludge!!!
There are many benefits to be gained by totally removing the entire EGR system and all of its crappy components; these are a few:
1. eliminates exhaust soot from entering intake manifold where it will mix with the incoming oil vapors from the CCV system and create soot sludge and buildup in the intake manifold!
2. MAP sensor will stay clean and last much longer
3. total removal will result in cleaner engine oil
4. prolonged engine life as engine components are not subjected to the abrasiveness of soot laden engine oil
5. will increase engine reliability and power and may even result in slightly better fuel economy
6. removal of all the EGR cooler and coolant hoses and lines will benefit by having less places for coolant leaks to occur
If you go with the Sasquatch Elbow Kit:
The high-flow replacement intake elbow outperforms the restrictive factory elbow which will increases engine performance, responsiveness and fuel economy.
Note: a+, Adding a ProVent will make the turbo intake boot last longer along with the boost hoses!This is a picture of all the crappy junk you can remove when installing the Weeks Elbow Kit:
