Porny a question for you .
Is it worth me fitting the egr removel kit or just wait until i have the cash for a remap and intercooler and then having it all done together.

If your EGR is working correctly, and only opening when it should... then removing it all won't make 'that' much difference to performance.  You are not suddenly going to release 100bhp ;)

There will be a difference, but it won't be huge (i.e. push you back in your seat)... but at certain load/speed you will notice that the engine is more responsive/powerful - as the engine will be breathing clean air - not recirculated exhaust gas!!...

The major difference is when the EGR system isn't working correctly - which happens quite often, and the engine is breathing exhaust gas all of the time... apart from being bad for performance and mpg - it can be very bad for the engine!!

The other advantage of removing the EGR is that the inlet manifold will not get full of sludge!!!... so again improves long term reliability.


With regards to 'with a remap, or before'... entirely up to you.

Cheers mate i might get one then thats another thing off my very long list of things to do ticked off.
When is it even going to stop!!

Landy Andy:
Mine drove well (pulls well to 85-90MPh), and as an 04 reg assume that all was working but still a change the better, now saving for the trip to see Porny for some tuning.

How big is big.
I'm not after massive bhp just a better pull and more torque.
What is your goal by having it done.I would be very interested in the results as i would like a power up grade.
