EGR delete from Preimer Diesel Performance

Has anyone had any experiance with the EGR delete kit from this company? I have looked on their website but it is not very informative. I am looking to do a EGR delete and the shop I am looking at said that they use their kit. I have another shop that uses the Liberator, but that is 1 1/2 hours away. Thoughts anyone?

This is the kit that is on my truck. I can't tell you much about it though. I know I am leaking coolant out the back of my engine now near the EGR cooler area. Shop put it in. I am regretting it now though.

This particular shop wants 8 hours @ $98/hr and I think it was $700 for the kit. Other's wanted $600 and 7 or 10 hours. The shop with the liberator was $590 plus 7 hours. Keep in mind these are Canadian dollars.

Don't Do it

Since i installed the kit the truck has not acted very well running very rich, now 7.5 miles to the gallon. Breaking the connections at the turbo will just create leaks. I am about to go back to EGR valve with the upgraded cooler. Quite frank i am pulling my hair out. If your truck is newer than an 05 you have to buy the a tunner, but just for the EGR cooler delete kit you should not have to pay more than 450.00. Easy enought to do it yourself just be patient. Any questions just holler.

I am inclined to put in a stealth EGR delete kit (a metal plate).

$20, easy to do, and will pass a cursory inspection.

I tow a 40' fifth wheel during the summer that grosses about 13,000 lbs when fully loaded and I am concerned about getting stranded someplace. So it is more of a preventative measure and peace of mind for me.

On this 04 ford that the kit is installed on it was only suppose to give a soft code, my scanner is picking the deletion up as a continuous DTC. I would put in this Bulletproof Upgraded cooler and shut the EGR valve down using a SCT tuner. Or Delete the Egr cooler, install straight up-pipe that will come with kit, and install Turbo back 4" exhaust, then use tuner for desired settings. If the truck i installed the delete kit on was mine, i would do the ladder. May be a little noisier but that sucker will breath.

I'm not sure you can "legally" remove emissions equiptment from a vehicle anywhere in the U.S. Maybe Alaska is different? My plan, when I'm done procrastinating over it, is to do the stealth delete. AFAIK thats the same as welding in a freeze plug in the end of the cooler so everything "appears" to be there and functioning.
