And by re routing the breather, imagine, no more sticky dirty fouled up throttle bodies, fouled sensors etc. Plus you also avoid hot air from inside the engine from going into the intake. I am sure there will be some gains, not too much though.
yes sir ..
but the function of the EGR is to lower temperature in order to reduce emissions (Nox emissions)
Disconnecting it would cause [1]high emissions + [2]engine knock due to high temperatures.
we dont mind [1]"high emissions", but the [2]"engine knock" just curious what if we again possibly tune the engine after disconnecting the EGR ? can we do that ?

no we haven't ruled them out completely.
we just said it will be good for certain applications. its a good mod but in a stock car in city conditions it may not be that great...e.g if we just bolton a lightweight flywheel only and expect great stuff to happen.
