Hi all
I have been reading the threads on the egr blanking plates and it all make pleanty of sence. I have however seen on ebay a adaptor to enable the egr valve to be removed and aid air flow from the intercooler to inlet manifold. Is this really worth the extra effort and cost?
Cheers James

at the end of the day all you need to do is stop all the dirty air coming out of the exhaust manifold going back into the engine - this is done simply & quickly by fitting the blanking plate - also a good idea to clean out the mass air flow sensor behind the air filter & clean out the inlet manifold to get rid of all the crud the egr system's been pushing through it.

ummm....i went the full EGR valve removal bit and definately made a difference, specially in higher rev range...me thinks that the EGR internals restrict about a quarter of the hole size. wun thing i did notice tho is that the throttle is very sensitive and surges anywhere above 3000 rpm

Did you plate it then remove the rest of the system at a later date, or did you do it all in one go, reason I ask is because if you did it in one go well you would notice a difference anyway because the EGR had gone. If you did it on two seperate occasions then to be honest I think its just your imagination because the bore of the inlet on the manifold is the same as the piece of pipe that has the spur. Removing the pipe that has the EGR spur on it won't really make a difference, having said that I had removed it all myself as it opens up the space a bit.

I think most people who remove it remove it because there is no point in it being there once its plated.
