Power: not really
Reliability: Yes. Preventing soot from going back into your intake is always a good thing.
Mileage: To me, no. I sticked and blocked over the winter and my mileage went down about 1.5 mpg. I think it was due to the fact I have a short commute, and the EGR blocker make the engine warm up a little slower than normal.

Didn't notice any gains in power but even if I did it could be the fact I'm always tinkering with efi live.
My theory, being a former vw tdi owner, is this could happen. I mean they both dump the egr into the intake right so I think the same could occur.

Blocking it will prevent any possibility of this happening which is a good thing!

Blocking it also may make your pcv valve seep oil. No idea why but it can be a double edge sword. Mine is stock and functioning normally. I never blocked it on my 04 LLY either.

I bought mine from McRat Racing. I love my McRat tunes. I never come off of my race tune. I have towed 15,000lbs with the race tune and I had no problem with EGT's. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me. You should pay right around 750 for EFI live with 2 free tunes from who ever you get it threw.
