On mine I have removed the recirculator and unplugged the eletrical conector, if you do leave the thing in you will still have to take the thin rubber pipe off and blank it off with a bolt, i have pic available if any one wants them, cheers | |

quote: I'd think so mate. :) I haven't actually done this mod myself yet, though I'm having it done in the next week or so. From what I gather, the motor recirculator thingy, IS actually the EGR valve itself. That needs to stay in the engine, as it is connected to the ECU (as I mentioned before). Basically, all you have to do, is block it off with the blanking plate between the EGR and the inlet, and that renders the EGR system ineffective. :) Sweet as? :D Hope I've been of help mate. C | |

I removed mine about 4 months ago, yes you do have to make a blanking plate, be sure to use the gasket thats already there, remove all the motor and trunking thats bolted down, there is also one thin pipe near the header tank that will need blocking up with a small bolt, all my mates have done theirs, 1.4 engines and 1.6 engines, the result is more torque at in low revs and when my mate first got his done he beat me easily when racing, hope this helps | |

not exactly sure what it does, think it just controls the flow of gasses going out of the exhaust, mine played up abit a while back and the car really stuggled to idle | |

ive read a few posts on this, is it the motor that puts exhausts air back into manifold to heat the CAT up? is it worth removeing or does it mess things up? and finally how do u remove it and 'block' it up???? |
