I really like my 14’ Ecodiesel (current recall issues aside), and want to keep it long term. I’ve been reading all the threads to figure out what I can do to keep it alive long term, but I’m still a bit confused. So hopefully some of you with experience with the Banks manifold can help me make sure I understand what can be done.
First, the Banks manifold kit could be installed to get rid of the coolant leak issue that has caused the latest EGR recall. I further assume this kit would simply replace parts and would cause no issues whatsoever with emissions issues etc.
Second, an EGR delete kit, could it even be purchased at this point, could be installed with or without the Banks intake and would also require an ECU retune to prevent engine code issues and make the engine run correctly.
So in summary there appears to be one legal path (intake replacement), with Banks the only option currently, and one illegal option (Intake+EGR_Delete+Tuner), with multiple sources for the EGR delete and tuner. Is that correct?
