TGV delete

[Piper86]

Hi all,

I bought my 2006 STI, EJ25, with TGV delete already done.
As this was not done by me I am not up to date with the pro's and con's of this modification.

Should I consider getting it back?
Other modifications;
Turbo back 76mm exhaust with HKS Silent Hi-power muffler.
Manly pistons
Stock ECU remapped for modifications

Location: South Africa, so cold weather is not really an issue, and the car sleeps in a closed garage, but the cold start is very load, until she settles on 1000rpm

TGV is only for smog and is a major restriction in the intake system of subaru. Pretty much theres a metal divider as well as a butterfly valve in the path of the intake flow which is deleted.

Keep it deleted since it's all around good for the powerband.

yeah, leave it as is. No downsides as far as I'm concerned.

does nothing hook up to this nipple once the TGV'S are deleted
