You will need a tune in order to remove the EGR.
With a tune you can have the EGR shut off and not have to physically remove it.
Is your EGR cooler leaking? If not, consider just a tune.
So you will need the delete kit and a tune unless you already have the tune. If you do check with your tuner and make sure it's prgrammed to allow removal of the EGR.yes it is leaking.
