....oh and no other engine mods....yet.
Well I did go with a 3" zorst and after almost 2 weeks of driving, I've had no over boost or dangersous EGT levels or anything. The 3" mod is definitely worth doing, I can here the Trol thanking me every time I drive it.

Just as an aside to the EGR blocking debate, I read somewhere sorry can't remember, that the soot and other crap reinserted into combustion chamber finds its way into engine oil. Right numerous posters here acknowledge oil is cleaner after blocking, however what I read was that modern engine oils bond with the soot etc and effectively scour the engine parts it comes in contact with supposedly keeping engine parts cleaner...may or may not be BS... and certainly I'd prefer to have the cleaner inlet tract blocking the EGR brings to the table...so horses for course I guess.

Truthfully, and I know this is sacrilege, but I'd rather be off road on my Husky...(bike not dog)
Cool thread easy to understand
Hi guys im new to patrols bought mine a week ago now 2003 patrol 3.0 diesel with catch can all guages fitted. Thermo fans all the stuff i have read and has a 3 inch exhaust. But no egr block should i do this. I know nothing about these vehicles but what i have read. And want to keep her going. Just a bit worried about limp mode as mentioned. Will i get this and no idea about playing with turbo boost. Love this site its helping me to learn.
Hello,
Just wondering if blanking could be substituted by inserting a one-way valve in the pipe leading to the EGR actuator? Has anyone taken the actuator apart - is the diaphragm strong enough? I would be curious if the actuator fully closes the recycling port when under full boost and keep it that way.
Cheers,
Tamas
Is the EGR in the same place in the CRD (2008 DX)?
Why do we need to fit EGR blanking plates on the ZD30DDTI when the recirc system has a butterfly to begin with? Cant we just remove the vacuum from the solenoid to that?
