hi i have a 1999 patrol 2.8 td have put a EGR block plate in dose it need a small hole ????? or not ?????
No, no need to drill a hole for the RD28, just remove the butterfly valve pre-cooler.Quote:

Aaron, It's also a good idea to fit a boost gauge and pyro, so you can keep an eye on things mate.
Sorry mate, I didn't explain it very well. The butterfly valve is fitted "pre-intercooler", or on to the inlet of the intercooler. The system works by closing the butterfly valve in an effort to reduce boost pressure to the inlet manifold when maximum EGR is needed. You'll see this setup on all conventional turbo diesels that use a waste gate turbo, and that also have EGR fitted to them.Quote:

Hiya Ferret.
I am a year late, but did you ever actually punch a few of these out and if so can I get one mailed to me?
Let me know how many beer vouchers you want!
Joe
Plenty of EGR plates Joe, PM sent mate, oh yeah, Cab sav's the go these days lol.
Cheers, the ferret.
hi mate i new here and this is my take on this subject
removing or blocking the EGR is not a performance mod !! it only works at cruise and it lowers the cumbustion chamber temp to reduce NOX "nitrides of oxygen" a very silent killer if it leaks into cab!!
the sooting is a by product we have to live with ,it is a polution control device and ""ILEAGAL" to remove or modify the same as removing a cat converter$10 grand fine if caught!!
so if you leave it there it already is a performance mod ! well kind off lol.
so in a nut shell , if i cut ur arm of ,you can live without it cant you ?? but if it wasnt ,it would be better !!
