Hey all,

If its a factory Turbo intercooled 4.2, a GUIV and onwards it swill have an EGR. Block the EGR, if fitted, on any diesel motor. And yeah fit catch can for sure.

Well if its got an EGR, block it.

Block that s#it mate. If you ever upgrade your IC, you'll need to remove and cap it anyway.
Also remove the EGR cooler while you're at it. Takes a small load off the cooling system.

And remove any EGR associated parts too. Theres some vacuum solenoids near the left right hand bonnet hinge I think. Also the EGR pipe itself and block it at the exhaust manifold. If your gonna remove it, remove any evidence of one being there at all.
