Hey everyone,
So I have a 1995-1997 Explorer upper and lower intake (The explorer intake with provision for external EGR), I am getting them ported from BigDogs Porting. He said he can drill and tap the ACT hole, but from my research there is another hole that must be drilled for the return line for the EGR. I was speaking to some friends about this because I don't know how comfortable I am drilling into a ported intake which may easily crack. They said just to bypass the EGR/Delete it rather than drilling all those holes and wiring the EGR. I looked around on StangNet and saw people talking about how deleting your EGR is better for performance but then I saw many contradicting posts too. My questions are:
1) To keep EGR or to not keep EGR?
2) If I do delete the EGR/bypass it, do I still have to drill the ACT hole.
Sorry guys I'm just a bit confused, I've been reading a lot of different things if you have any questions or need more information please let me know. Thank you all in advance.
