Default EGR port cleaning?

Have anyone try this method, yet? Does it really make a different in throttle responses. Just want to ask first if it really worth it before I do mine.

Thank you in advance...

I don't think it will increase throttle response, but fuel efficiency, yes. Is your car a V6?

It's in the FAQ's

It will help, especially if it's all clogged up, 3 of my 4 were 90% clogged and the 4th was about 70%

Yah I know it's in the FAQ. I read it and I was just wondering if any of you guys did it already. Does the port need new gasket (wasn't mention in FAQ)?

Cool so it does help. I'll try mine this weekend. Thanks...

what do you mean?

i used my dremel to clear out the holes and blew off what i could with an air duster, maybe like 10% if that went into the hole.

I used engine brite to clean up the cover and what not
