egr question

Those systems are not nearly as simple as your post implies. If it were a simple matter of turning things off and not altering hardware, people would have done those things a long time ago.


Turning off the EGR...
The regen system along with a lot of other things would not work properly, exhaust temps could not be regulated, and the DPF would clog up after a few weeks, etc. - Turing off the EGR makes less soot.... but ALL diesel engine produce soot... and that DPF can is going to collect it. No EGr = NO regen cycle = a clogged DPF filter.

Turning off the DEF usage is also not possible while leaving everything in place. It causes issues with the SCR system as a whole after a while.

FYI: (assuming for a moment you live where such things are legal)...
-- The EGR, emissions, DEF, etc. system requirements can be scaled back though it will not likely pass if inspection if tested. Everything can be made more lenient without removing anything, it has been done many times w some of the ppl on here. Every time someone does this though, they end up having a delete done anyways due to still having to chase the systems issues, they just happen less often is all. It solves nothing towards having to do regular tune-up work, keeping sensors clean, keeping soot out of the oil by adding a bypass filtration system, etc.... it only reduces the issues and DEF consumption a bit.
