#5: Re: egr valve Author: nashy, Location: kentPosted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 7:04 am ---- 1.4 hdi how you cut it off ?

#7: Re: egr valve Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:26 am ---- EGR valve is tfitted for a reason, also being a HDI it will have a turbocharger fitted, removing / disabling the EGR valve will shorten the turbo's lifespan

surely putting this through the turbo is a horrific idea
#10: Re: egr valve Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:46 am ---- Read up on how the EGR system on a modern diesel works & you will see why disabling / blanking the EGR of is a stupid idea

#12: Re: egr valve Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 10:37 am ---- well all i can find is reduced emissions and better cold starting but i have to agree with ExoVyper surely the abrasive nature of the soot that cokes up everything can only cause abrasive effects on the turbo fins and everything else? i cant really see the appeal of sticking that sort of mess through your intake system, if thats what goes though the system why do we have panel filters?
#13: Re: egr valve Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:22 am ---- i had pictures of my intake pipe i cleaned out one day and there was literally half a centimetre of gunk pasted around it so god only knows what that was doing to my car
#14: Re: egr valve Author: Harty, Location: West LothianPosted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:14 am ---- I'll take pictures of my alloy inlet for the 406 i got for an intercooler conversion and i haven't cleaned it yet. The amount of crap in that thing is disgusting... Especially around the egr port... The boost pipe however was nowhere near as bad but still minging im planning on welding off the egr port and blanking it that way i think
