I love the extender chip, but it lacks something that is a little important to me. EGR. Ive had people tell me on here that the EGR is disabled on all extender chips.
Ive always been searching for better gas mileage when Im just crusing along. I drive 35 miles a day, so anything that will improve it a little is pretty valuable to me. The EGR cools the intake air temps, which allows higher timing during cruise. I climb through a mountain range on the way to work, and it takes me 3-4psi just to climb the main hill at 65mph. I can fly up that hill in the gutless wonder toyota camry Ive been driving to work lately, at 80mph with no problem. I damn near have to turn this trip up the hill into an open loop drag race for 3 miles straight while my engine is getting hotter and hotter. I was thinking that the added timing during cruise would help alot. Not only that, but Ill have to smog this car sometime, and I really want the EGR to work. Plus the exhaust fumes stink. Nowhere near as bad as they used to, after fixing other things, but still bad enough. I know there are people who get great mileage with the extender chips, but I know others who dont, including myself. And there is no other reason for the motor to be drinking gas at this rate. Every other possibility has been acounted for and fixed. The chip is the last avenue.
I love the ability to adjust BLM's. I love lean cruise. I love being able to add/remove timing. I love the race fan. If this chip just had the EGR working like it should, with the added timing that comes with it, the quicker advance rate, etc....it would be perfect.
