EGR restrictor????

97Cobra · April 28th, 2007, 10:04 PM

Well I just bought an EGR restrictor for my mustang and put it in. it it worth having one? it seems to run a lil cooler. but i cant tell the difference that well. I kept the old gasket just because i was gonna try the restrictor out. any cons to the restrictor? I know its supposed to lower the MPG a lil if any...
just thought Id get other opinions..... Thanks you guys!

dont you have to retune for that?

nope thats only if you completely close off the EGR. the restrictor has a smaller hole to let some in so it mount throw a code.
