Blocking the EGR Valve

[Hodge]

I'm with mudski here. My car became a hell of a lot better with dawes and needle. And IMO the CRD factory boost control is still piss poor. It just yoyos all over the place.
When I went to pickup parts from mudski and when he helped me fit my setup. I was very hesitant about it. I wasnt sure whether I will benefit from it. But after it was fitted and tuned, it was a completely different beast afterwards. Boost was more smoother and linear and it dropped EGT's heaps...

Thanks Mudski,

That's putting it pretty simple, I will invest in the near future.
got a few other things to sort out, but as you say, its a pretty small outlay for an added benefit.

Hodge,

you've sold me.
I would agree that the boost is all over the place like a mad woman's sh*t.
so if this setup is going to smooth it out, i'm all over it.
I had some strange issues with mine and have just sorted it out, that's another long story for another time.
I appreciate the feed back guys, it's been educational and interesting.
Cheers

egr valves are so bad for the engine internals they just clog everything up.

Thanks for this thread gents - this is one of the first things on my to-do list. Heading off to browse Mudski's shop!

I there a kit that removes the EGR system entirely as opposed to just disables it? Is the like a replacement part to remove the EGR butterfly system?

You remove the egr entirely and you run a risk of inspector plod spotting it missing and slapping you with a big fine. For the price of an egr plate and a few beers. Its easier just to block it.

If its a 4.2 there is a kit available to delete this.

Does someone on here sell this removal kit? Or know a link to somewhere that does? I want to remove it entirely as I will be "offroad racing" the vehicle only wink wink... I think my car will be quite standard and won't attract attention of the fun plod crew.... I plan to keep this one and its modifications law abiding... With the one exception here of the emissions it makes it neater and easier to access filters etc. etc..

Why do you want to completely remove the egr?
