Hi all just wondering if there is anything I need to be aware of before doing the EGR mod and silicone hose change?

All looks pretty simple but just in case I thought I would ask.
 
Yeah I have bought the mod already. Is it a case a blasting the manifold with some Mr muscle or I have some stuff called G101 which is pretty hardcore stuff.
 
shouldn't need any gaskets if you are careful.

When you change the long intercooler hose across the front of the top of the engine, cut a section off the old hose, split it, and wrap round the new one where the fixing screw will rub on the hose, to prevent it chafing the new one.

I found the hose in question was a bit thinner and clears the screw head !

same here .. 'xcept few days ago checked it .. and there was a small indentation from that screw .. .. must be from vibration .. ( and/or hose expansion from turbo boost )
tie-wrapped a spare bit of s.hose around it just in case ..

If the long inter cooler hose is original the lower clip is usually inaccessible, using a small open end spanner on the clip will make it easier to unfasten.

I am happy cleaning the manifold but am a bit worried about the ports!! What's the best way to clean them?

Nothing to worry about , wrap a thin rag around your finger , insert in the port and twist as you remove your finger , it should remove the gunk from around the port , repeat with a clean bit of rag until clear , be careful not to drop any thing down them !

Do you need to replace any gaskets when you do this?

No , the gaskets are pretty robust , but what a horrid messy job , the gunk is the blackest black I have ever come across :D oven cleaner got half of it out the rest was white spirit and lenths of bed sheet passed through the port holes in the intake manifold with a lenth of wire coat hanger , worth while doing though , its like giving your engine a new set of lungs :cool: hope these tips help !
 
Going to get it done on Friday afternoon I think..... What sort of time scale do you guys think I should be looking at to get it done start to finish?
