Blocking the EGR Valve

[the ferret]

yeah, I get that part, so it looks to be a cheap fix/life extender for a tired engine. there was a couple of blokes with new-ish trucks looking at the bypass option,

why bother with a healthy engine? if, no real change in power/fuel consumption?

mate, I'm not a mechanic but I like my patrol just like any other bloke on this forum and I want my old 2.8 to keep kicking for a while longer so I will probs do this bypass option, but for a newish healthy truck I probs wouldn't bother

Mate, to be honest, If I bought a brand new nissan, the egr would be blocked before I took it out of the driveway, have you ever had a look inside the inlet manifold when EGR has not been blocked??
Well have a gander at the below pic>
