So Bob, if I'm thinking correctly, I should now be able to remove my blocker plate and Fingerstick, right? :thankyou2:Quote:

I pulled my blocker plate. I have not seen the EGR open on any of my logs w/ it shut off the way I posted. Max, why leave the plate in?
If you play with boost, the drive pressure will be enough to crack open the EGR.
I've never had a blocker in mine. Guess I'll need to check it out...
Hmm, lots of good info here. Thanks guys.
I should elaborate. LLY only.
With somewhere around 70 - 80 PSI of back pressure in the exhaust there is enough force on the EGR valve to overcome the spring. Boost on the other side will help keep it closed. So once boost builds, the valve shouldn't open. On big tunes with agressive, rapid spool up off idle, you can catch the EGR popping. Keep in mind that once it pops, it pressurizes the intake and provides false boost. So it will actually flutter more than pop. You can hear it when it happens.
There is no power here with the stock turbo, or any benefit that I can see being this agressive, The spool up is the same or worse. The extra back pressure actually hinders the engine making power all the way up the curve.
70-80 psi of back pressure in the exhaust? :Eyecrazy: Wow that sounds like a lot!Quote:

The best way to get rid of the excess back psi would be to upgrade the stock VVT turbo. It is the root cause of the problem.
:welcome: Ohh, and Welcome Fingers!!! You have forgoten more about this motor than I will ever know. Good to see you here and thanks for the input!!
