do not disable your EGR system

...."I dont think any of the 1.0l G10 engines had EGR, right? At least I'm pretty sure my xfi doesn't - out of curiosity though, how exactly would retrofitting a gapless ring affect an engine equipped with egr? I'm clueless and wouldn't mind learning.
"....


My 1996 g10 does have EGR

removing the EGR is a bad idea

EGR does not degrade anything and it enhances fuel economy and lowers emissions and combustion temperature at part load cruise
which is the only time it functions in a system that is operating as designed .

and
on a 1996 or newer system
it is a violation of federal law to tamper with any of the OBD2 components
