EGR DELETE
Hello all, I have a 05 6.0 liter f250.
I wanted to pick everyone's opinion here. I want to delete the egr cooler. I know this will make sure I don't overheat if the cooler becomes clogged.
Questions, will I gain any power from the delete?
And what else will I gain?

Well first you'll gain a clean intake. Also if you use the IPR delete or one of SDS intakes you'll do away with the pesky j tube connection that can leak.
As far as power gain not sure but it stands to reason that cleaner air will give you a bump up. I haven't really noticed any gains so to speak. So end up loosing a bit of boost after doing the egr delete and again I didn't loose any myself. Good luck and have fun with it.

In a nutshell,you won't gain anything but a little piece of mind

That part I don't know. May have to do with computer strategy, may have to do with boost leaks. Can't say as I've read a definite find. These guys on here have the knowledge for sure maybe someone has an answer as to why. Personally I wouldn't worry about it and delete away. KIDKISER pretty much summed it up imo.

It actually increases air flow, why the boost goes down a hair (less back pressure) and has the potential to increase power. High boost isn't always the answer.... air flow.

We've become quite the fan of the IPR Research EGR Delete's FWIW. No blue hoses to leak, but consider coupling this work with upgraded stainless braided flex couplers on the y pipes to replace the factory bellows. We can hook you up with both (I know you're surprised...

Hope this helps!

I went with the IPR GEN2 that Ed linked in his post above. Glad I did, it is an excellent kit. Like WatsonR posted. It's not about boost, it's more about airflow and tuning. For example, if you go with a larger intercooler you will see a small drop in boost after the swap but you just increased and cooled the air flow & increases the air density so you opened the door for more HP.
