EGR test

I'm building my 7M, I wanted to ditch the EGR but apparently I can't without swapping to a JDM ecu. If I have to keep it, how do I test it to make sure it works properly?

Thank you

Why do you want to ditch it?

 

[jake8790]

I don't like extra clutter in my engine bay. But because it's necessary for detonation suppression, I'm going to make sure it's working right and keep it.

ah.
Well, it's not really necessary for detonation suppresion, though it will lower combustion temps.
It's really more for reduction of nitric oxide.

Hmm.. I'd really like to get rid of it. Except most of the info I've found here says keep it or it's going to detonate at partial throttle load conditions.

It sounds like you have read a lot. Now it's time to formulate your own opinion. Pollute or don't pollute?
