Hey guys - looking at GT-40 Explorer intakes for my '94GT. I'm a bit confused on which route to go regarding internal or external EGR. My car currently has the EGR system in tact, but I have a block off plate and "eBay fooler" plug available. I'm not opposed to removing the system or leaving it in place. I've read lots of stories on issues when the EGR is removed. For reference, I live in a county where there is no emissions testing. I've already removed the smog pump and associated plumbing.
My question is which route do I need to go regarding the intakes? Internal EGR or external EGR, or does it even matter? Are you locked in to a setup once you make a choice? For example, if you choose a non-EGR intake, do you have to eliminate the EGR system or can you still run it? Or conversely, if you choose an EGR intake can you eliminate the EGR system later? Or am I just way overthinking this and just grab the one I can get the best deal on?
Car is a work in progress, budget build. I'm trying to get it cosmetically fixed up and just doing small things at the moment to make it a bit better, but I'm almost to the point of where I have it like I want and am ready to start building budget power (hence the Explorer intake route).
