egr delete pipe question
i ordered the up-pipe egr delete pipe from twisted diesel (elite diesel dealer, drop shipped from elite) and had a question about it. this is not the sneaky pipe but the one that is completely straight w/o a pipe going to the egr cooler. do i need to block the port going into the egr cooler and with what if i need to? could water or other stuff going into this pipe cause any problems if it can get into it? thanks
should i just call and get the sneaky pipe since this is going on at the shop (cool ford truck dealer) when the head studs are done to make it easier? is there that much flow difference?

if the egr cooler is blocked off and the egr becomes operational for some reason, nothing should happen with your truck, if the cooler is not blocked off and that happens then you'll be allowing un filtered air into the motor,

I'll let you know in a few weeks what happens to mine. I just did the same thing and didn't want to unplug the EGR and also didn't want unfiltered air getting into the intake so I temporarily covered with heavy duty aluminum tape just so I know it is sealed. Eventually I will do it right by cutting off the flange from the stock pipe and welding it shut, then using the stock gasket and clamp to close it off. I asked who I bought it from why they didn't fab a cover and include it with the pipe, their response was "this part was meant to be a piece of the pie when removing the EGR system completely". Wouldn't it be nice to have fresh filtered air replace the exhaust gases into the system so their would be no codes due to insufficient egr flow?

elite told me that nothing will enter the egr even with its input open as long as the egr valve is off. They said they've been doing it like this for awhile and never had problems. They also said it may benefit cooling although not by much but every little bit helps on this engine.

I asked them how it would be if I unplugged it when the truck was off(to make sure the valve is closed) as a temporary solution and they said that's fine. It could run a little funny and maybe throw a code but shouldnt be any problems. I read before that even with it unplugged it could still turn open under certain conditions but I'm not sure if that's true. So unplug it and maybe think of a tuner someday. They are nice
