just wanted to know how has or has thought about removing it? and for those that have, did you notice and incressed performence?

I don't think the egr will hurt out car too much, I just read this in a toyota spec sheet.

"The ECM considers the EGR system and an integral part of the entire engine control system. Therefor the ECM is capable of neutralizing the negative performance aspects of the EGR by programming additional spark advance and decreased fuel injection duration during periods of high EGR flow. By integration fuel and spark control with the EGR metering system, engine performance and feul economy can actually be enhanced when the EGR system is functioning as designed."

So I guess unless ur running a stand alone its not gonna do much for your car. and could cause problems if the ecm expects the combustion gas to be cooler then they should, and it'll probably give you a check engine light.

There are EGR "block off plates" or something similar available. You might wanna look to the MR2 guys for more info.

Doing it though might not be worth the time and money, the gains will be minimal.

Its very easy to bypass EGR just by disconnecting the vacuum hoses and pluging them. I did it on my camaro when i had it. I havent messed with it on the celica though. Its illegal and you probably wont pass emissions if you have that.

the egr valve is closed on WOT so you wont notice a difference when you get on it. and yeah e-bay has some egr black off valves for like 16 bucks.

what is egr?

it filter exaust gases back into your intake manifold to reduse emissions. but on the downside your getting hot dirty air to be conbusted.

the hot air cools the combustion gasses >>

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. yes i know what are you talking about! this is the first time i am hearing about removing it!

well i'm thinking about geting a stand alone.. for when i do my little turbo project... so i really don't want got gasses sucked back into the intake.... the EGR is just one of them many things i have thought about... so many thought so little time ... pass the advil please.

my friend took out his egr b4 and it ****ed up his engine. The engine light would stayon and it made his car choke when he drives for the first 30 mins

yeah someone on here said there egr valve got cloged and they burnt trough gas like crap and he car would shake a lot
