WWDiesel, Do you know if the emissions tests would fail after installing the kit you linked to? I'm unfortunately located in NY.
I'm not sure of the NY requirements, but i don't imagine them being too lenient.
It certainly would fail a visual inspection by someone who knows what to look for.
(A full EGR system/components Delete)If inspectors are not required to perform a tailpipe sniffer test, you could install a simple block off plate between the EGR valve and exhaust feed tube to permanently disable it.
Then remove the butterfly plate out of the FCV so it can't hang partly shut limiting boost levels and air flow into the intake manifold. FCV's are bad about hanging partly shut!
An inspector would not see a block off plate, to well hid! Only takes about 15-20 minutes to install a block off plate in the location shown. Remove two bolts, slip block off plate in, and reinstall the bolts, job done!
**A block off plate can be made out of any simple sheet metal, even the lid from a soup or vegetable can. Only tools required to make a block off plate are a drill & 5/16" (8mm) drill bit and a pair of tin snips.But it will still require a reflash of the ECM to disable any DTC's that the ECM might trigger due to non functioning the EGR system.
This will remove any Check Engine Lights from an inspector/emissions test.
