Emissions control equip removal... WAS: EGR Tube with a turbo

[Hammer Down]

Are you building a track only car?  If not, why would you want to do that?
It doesn't cost you any power to have the EGR (and the CAT for that
matter)and the system works at reducing pollutants.  It is like removing
your Cat.  Why?  The current evolution of the catalytic Converter is not
restrictive as is used to be.  Most, if not all, are now a straight flow
through design and add only minute amount of pack pressure.  Keep the car
emissions legal.  You are not losing any significant power for doing it and
you are actually helping out our air we need to breath.  Purposely disabling
working emissions system and not gaining anything other than the removal of
them, thus grossly polluting the environment, gives hotrodders like us, a
bad name.  Don't do it!  "Track only" cars are one thing but daily driven
cars should remain emissions legal.  Don't be selfish.  That is what are
grandfather's and Father's have done for the last 100 years.  Now WE have to
clean up their mess.  Want some cold war plutonium production waste (read
cesium!!!)(just kidding about the availabilty)?  I am currently helping
design the waste treatment plant that will process some 50 years of high
level waste that totals over 55 million gallons.  Why is this waste here?
Because they didn't want to take responsibility for cleaning up their mess
in the rush to have more bombs than the other guy.  We won but this crap has
been hanging around in leaking tanks for 50 years....  Let's be responsible
tuners, not a pack of DUFUS!  Sorry, I tend to get a little excited on this
subject.
