Has anyone of you experience rattling sound from panel gauge in your Monty? Medyo nakakairita e. Minsan nawawala pero mandalas may rattle.

I agree sir. Actually kaya lang ako nag compare per spec is madami din kasing misconception(madalas specs data sheets based din) against sa MS GLX kesyo wala daw VNT/VGT sinasabi / nag aasume na agad na mahina yan or under powered etc(versus sa direct competion w/c are Fortuner 2.5 VNT and Eve 2.5 ICA1&2), believe it or not meron pa nga akong nabasa somewhere dito sa tsikot forums na hindi daw SUV ang MS GLX kasi walang VGT/VNT haha. Pero nung makuha ko na yung unit(note* I decided to go for montero because of the comfort sa passengers) na compare(real world) ko on par naman siya sa 2012 MS GLS-V 4x4 MT(specifically sa low gears 1-3 ONLY) and 2009 Fortuner 3.0(almost comparable sa lahat ng gears) na nai-drive ko na rin ng maraming beses so bonus na yung the fact na alam kung malakas din talaga siya. (Arguably MS GLS-V and Fort 3.0 are better than Fort 2.5 & Eve 2.5 vnt/vgt). Kaya talagang sulit talaga siya for me

Ask ko lang po kung wala bang magiging issue sa warranty regarding sa pag blank ng EGR? Hindi rin ba magkakaron ng problema sa performance ng engine in a long run?

Sir zix888, thank you for the mods (egr blanking and aircon filter). Natuloy din sa wakas. Thanks ulit.

Technically, void na warranty mo sir. Medyo matagal din akong nagcontemplate kung ipapa-blank ko. Pero mukhang madali naman tanggalin, if ever.

wala naman magiging issue yan kasi di naman basta makikita ng casa kahit pa tangalin ang EGR mo. sa performance wala ding problema, beneficial pa nga sa engine hindi nga lang sa environment.

pros:
- colder na yung air na papasok sa intake manifold mo so mas efficient ang combustion, better response sa lower rpm
- efficient combustion, better burning of fuel, kaya it eliminates excessive smoke typical sa Montero, di na tatawaging pusit unit mo
- eliminates o ma-lessen build up ng carbon sa intake manifold
- cost saving dahil once ma blank, di ka na magpapalinis ng EGR

cons:
- hindi na environment friendly Montero mo. read mo na lang ano ba function ng EGR...
