I would if i could, its a MY08 so can't do the blanking. BAS in UK have a new product out that contains EGR emulators, a software patch and blanking kit. Not sure of price bnut no one much here knows a lot about it.

Think you used a couple of EGR valves connected to fool the jelly bean machine diddn't you?

Yes - the working EGRs is basically the emulator.

agree about the rest, it would be muck heaven.

It just press fits between the intake manifolds and the intake butterfly housing for the EGR.


Nah no difference, I just clean them because I don't like the idea of so much carbon build up in my intake. If I get adventurous I might remove the top covers of the intake manifold - the bottom half is cast into the valve covers. I'm sure there'll be enough carbon to make a grown man cry...

Would love to see video of that being done.
