i wanna say i read somewhere that you dont need with the ppe.. but im not 100% sure. i think it eliminates the need for it though

No fingerstick here, Tim. No codes or CELs either. :)

LLY vs LBZ may make a difference, but I don't see how...?

I took my finger stick off and got no CEL......until I put the stock tune back in when I sent the programmer to PPE to be updated. I didn't see any difference when I took it off. Kind of wish I just left it on so in case I have to remove a tune I get no CEL.

This is exactley what i was thinking.Just didnt want it to interfere with the tuning.

Finge stick is not needed with PPE, the fingerstick will not work with the duramximizer either, they but heads pretty bad... Had a bad experince on a dyno run, thought i had blown my sh%t up but ended up just being a majior issue between my finger stick, duramaximizer, and hot2ET, took the stick and duramaximizer off and everything was fine...

PPE recommended to me to remove it.

I have had mine on with the PPE and no problems, I was going to remove it but it good to have it for trips to the dealer.

does it shut the EGR automatically with the PPE or is an option.

Whoops. In my previous post I said PPE told me to remove it - that is not correct. My memory is getting less as my age is getting more. I sent an e-mail to Fingers (creator of the finger stick) and he said it can interfere with the program (something like that) and it is better to remove it. Mine is taken out.
