For no special reason,I disconnected the vaccume line going to the EGR on my 126 Diesel, then plugged the hose off with a piece of brass.
I realize that this procedure does not comply with federal emission laws, but I am not worried about that because where I live we have virtually no enforcement or inspections.

My question is: Will leaving the EGR disconnected permenantly do any damage to the engine?
The car seems to have a little more pep with this modification , and I would like to leave it this way.

Thanks,
Bill
