EGR Blank causing limp mode

[mudski]

Done the same as above, always had some form of limp no matter what I done as in would be good for awhile but then a random limp now and then, would be good then a cold evening and then limp at 3000rpm ect or upon harder than normal acceleration and limp on gear change, ended up doing my head in, put HPD MAF housing and airbox lid on and no limp ever again, did loose a bit power down low, put a chip in now it goes pretty good, still dialling it in a little.

I've wondered if you could just shave the inside of the standard MAF housing on a lathe and achieve similar results, I mean something like .30 tho of it, as doesn't the standard MAF housing narrow slightly in the centre of the housing to speed up the air flow past the MAF sensor, so making it straight through instead of narrowing could work? Would only be a smidge of and a cheaper option than HPD>

First you'd have to find someone who can shave out 30thou or so in the housing. Being plastic I would be too concerned of it collapsing. Second if it didn't work, you would have lost your coin on paying someone to machine the housing out...

Id be interested in this, I also read there is an air box mod you can do yourself as well.
Maybe one of those finger files could remove some material [power file]

Ahh yes. I attempted it. Well sort of. I bought the necessary parts for the mod. And got the cbf's and though if I didn't do it right I'm stuffed. So I bought the HPD lid aswell as the HPD housing.
