1975 Chevrolet Vega, 5.3/200-4R may finish someday, maybe...
So I did A LOT of reading here and two other forums, so will the egr functions be in this upgraded program for lbz's and lly's forever lost or will they be available yet for them? I'm going to guess yes it will be lost forever for USA based tuners but I haven't specifically seen anything for them engines. Because I had seen somewhere where the lmm and up will be effected only.
The OP mentions Please read THIS as a starting point, and at the end of that it states: "For USA based customers only, EGR and DPF related items will no longer be available for modification." which seems pretty unequivocal.

Now I have a question of my own:
Will the upcoming EFILive Tune Tool software update require an internet connection every time the program is launched?
No it will not, nor will it report 'back to base with your data' if you have an internet connection.
Just an FYI as to why this was not something we would remove for customers worldwide, here's an interesting link from the UK:
http://www.dpfremoval.co.uk/ - states "The DPF is not a legal requirement or is it needed for the MOT test".
I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
No Ben, we do not live in the land with the most pollution. And hasn't been since before the 2004/2007/2010 implementation of stricter emissions controls on diesel automobiles.

Thanks for clarifying.
One last question I have, since some others have made statements that created some confusion on this point:
When the upcoming versions of EFILive are installed and used on a PC in the US, the DPF & EGR features will not be available (as we all know by now).
But if that *SAME* PC is subsequently moved to a location outside the reach of the US EPA (say to a foreign country such as Belize), will the DPF & EGR features "magically" become available once again without the user having to take any additional steps?
Thanks!
