If you saw my other ALDA post you'd see the issues I was having, which was a MASSIVE problem for 2 years. Anyway, I would and may leave it off but as someone said, how do we know what longer term issues it may cause with carbon build up and EGT temps, etc?
You know for sure you better MPG? How, in theory, is that possible?

That alda is strictly an emissions device for smoke. it has nothing to do with carbon buildup and egt . The EGR cools combustion temperatures so they say. It barely makes a difference now that I've bypassed the egr. The temperatures are barely different and I have zero worries of a melted piston lol. This is a 150hp car, not a 400hp 8k rpm revving v8.
I'm not sure how to explain the better fuel economy. I do the same driving I did filling at the same station and have a 1.5 better mpg.
