It has definitely made that much difference, but whether I was starting from a fully working system I wouldn't like to say :wink:

Phil - I just got one blanking plate (ERR4698) with the intention of putting it between the EGR value and the manifold. In the end, I completely removed the EGR valve and pipe. I used the blanking plate at the manifold end (no gasket!?) and made up a temporary blanking plate for the intercooler pipe out of an old beer can :)  Took me about 30 minutes :D

The old classic fix, I bet it last longer than the pukka one aswell  :D

Gordon, thanks for the details, I think I'll buy myself a couple of those blanking plates, get rid of the valve and see if I get the same improvement!


Phil.

ive just blanked my egr valve with a piece of tin cut from a marmalade jar top :lol:

i also removed the electronic plug and crimped the vac hose

the results are amazing, it seems no more turbo lag, loads of bottom end pulling power, which is just where i like it 8)

i'm going to order the proper blanking plates and top intercooler hose, actually im going to replace all the intercooler hoses cos there all a bit soft, and there not expensive :wink:

so result all round

Where did ou buy the blanking plate from Gords?  I've found a couple of online shops with them but when you add shipping to them it makes no sense.  Paddocks didn't have any last time I was up there.
