Removing EGR on FI Bug

The system probably doesn't work. If I remove it and plug up all the
openings will there be any consequences on engine performance or operation?

..............The EGR was removed by the PO of my '77 bug with L-Jetronic FI.
Without running it before and after removal myself, all I can say is that my
FI works very well. I'm guessing that it would be a little richer in mixture
without the EGR which is a good idea on these systems. I may be wrong about
the EGR's effect on this system with and without because the CHT is what
tells the the ECU to lean out out after warm up.....I think. If yours isn't
working and you're happy with the system as is, it probably won't matter too
much what you do.

I disconnected mine 5 years ago - no difference in engine performance at
all. Also got rid of that annoying pipe. Good Luck. David

Just be sure to plug everything! No noticable consequences. -BaH
