Do you have any gauges installed as good to monitor changes as mods come into play.
Is eng stock, any mods to date?
In addition to blocking EGR, as mentioned you can disable the swirl valve (2nd throttle plate/butterfly) _is located driver side of engine towards firewall . To disable the swirl control solenoid, unplug it and insert the resistor in plug and tape up/zip tie back away (typical pic).
I prefer to do this by unplugging and do the swirl valve plug resistor mod (330ohm) than turn off with ECU remap (keep options open). Jaycar sell a 2 pack of resistors. 330ohm 1 watt resistor. Jaycar part number RR2762.
When swirl valve is disabled swirl throttle plate (butterfly) stays open all the time and provides for more air at low revs and provides for improve performance low down. Swirl valve not required with EGR disabled.
Second resistor in the Jaycar pack can be used in the plug of VNT vac solenoid, if you want to remove the VNT vacsol when using Tillix/Dawes manual boost control. CRD require vacsol to be electrically connected (as I do). . Alternatively you can perform the resistor mod that prevents ECU throwing error code. After bending the resistor as pictured. Unplug the Boost control Solenoid and plug the resistor into the plug in its place. Tape it up and you are done.
Good to hear about comments you get from Chris.
