EGR block fitted, engine performance better ???
i have just fitted the EGR block plate as recommended on this site. i have read various reports on the benefits in regards to cleaner oil ETC and some claims to better performance. since i have fitted the plate i believe i can feel and improvement in power particularly around the mid range and also the gearbox appears to be shifting better (quicker), is this my imagination or is this possible with this mod?

Before doing any motor mods, as we dont know what you drive etc,
is fit a pillar pod or dash pod fitted with EGT and Boost guages.
THEN after any mods made buy you or anyone else can be monitored.
Here we call it NADS, Highly recommend again depending on what you drive
Give us as much info as possible.

If this is duplicate thread ask the Mods to delete this one, Just give us more details on other thread,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,TD
Lack of info may be reason you dont get any answers, Check Archives for Chaz Yellowfoot {guru} threads on this subject,
plenty of pics and notes that may answer all your questions. Blocking EGR uses exhaust gasses now to turn turbo hope I got that right

Depending on what other mods you have done?
The list goes :
- Boost and EGT gauges ( should be done before any mods, including EGR plate)
- EGR plate
- Dawes valve
- Needle valve
- Catch Can
- Bigger exhaust
- Performance chip
- Better intercooler
- Better intercooler scoop
- Glow plug timer mod
There is more.
Out of that list that is a must I will say...
- Boost and EGT gauges ( should be done before any mods, including EGR plate)
- EGR plate
- Dawes valve
- Needle valve
- Catch Can
For engine longevity.

Glow plug timer mod..... Whats this? havnt heard of this before??
After just fitting the egr plate i highly doubt you would notice any difference in the car at all.
After all the other mods are done Dawes and needle then it will be a different car to drive

My way of thinking and not trying to confuse OP.
there is only so much you can do to a 3Ltr turbo Diesel motor
Lets face its never going to be a rocketship, but very happy with
performance of mine, now its NADDED.
And yes you can feel the difference M2cw

umm good point, i have a 2003 3lt turbo diesel, no extra gauges the car is basically standard, we have only had it a few months so we are in the early days of modification. it only has 150k on it so there should be plenty of life left in it.

thanks for the info. i thought the boost and EGT gauges where for the earlier model GU due to the issues with over boosting (my patrol is 2003) is this recommended for all model patrol, i also thought the Dawes valve was for this problem as well, but below WYLD333 states the car would be a different car to drive, in what regards?
