There is a way to do it where ya got no EGR or ECU problems, maybe ya could change over to AFM C16XE loom and lower inlet that would do it lol | |

Im not 100% on the process as i had a C16XE, BUT, from what i have picked up over time you will need to chuck the lot in the bin, plug the hole in the manifold, make up 2 metal plates same shape as the EGR gasket, one is a blank plate the other has the profile of the gasket, this allows the EGR to still work but not actually do anything and the ECU dosnt know any better cos athough its working the gasses aint gettin plumbed back into inlet??? | |

Oh only other thing is remove the valve ya self and clean it up see if its not just clogged with carbon etc etc | |

Yes sounds right to me, the EGR valve lets exhaust gasses back into the inlet system to be burnt again, this gives a cleaner exhaust from the car, its an eco friendly kinda thing, it basically a valve that opens and closes, they cost a bomb yes, and are fiddly to fit, there is a way to dump ya secondary air pump and egr all together, this will gain ya 1-2bhp and stop ya having to worry about the valve playing up as they break allot | |

You can just block the EGR valve off. | |
