Gally,

do you think reticulated exhaust gases kill turbos in the tdv8?

Not removing the rear drain plug at oil changes will not do your turbos any favours.

I understood that the 2.7 kit is available now at the web-site price.

They are $538 for the pair including the Gst

Thanks

From what I have seen I don't think EGR's have any bearing on the lifespan of a turbo.

Like Graeme says doing the oil change correctly is critical.

There is a lubrication mod from the factory that deals with poor turbo lubrication. It comes with a new pipe to rectify the issue.

I have only ever seen issues when an EGR has permanently stuck open.
There was a couple of cases were it blocked up just about everything on one bank and caused quite a bit of damage to injectors, valves, egr cooler and map sensor but incredibly the turbo survived.

There is a huge difference in how clean the top end is when the EGR's are closed. So it can only help to improve the quality of combustion and look after the sensors and actuators on its way.

Good servicing and a good fuel system cleaner every 3 months is the way to go. Fuel alone just isn't enough these days.

I clean the Y piece and the senser and as much of the inlet side as I can every oil change on my TDV6 D3 , and when you see how much gunk is there after 10,000ks I cant imagine what the inlet side is like where I cant get to.


Anything that stops the EGR going back into the engine has to be a step in the right direction.


Cheers Ean

What type is the best for this?

There are heaps of types,but i never know which is the best to use.

SO with the 2.7,just plug in the emulator and away you go?

If you want to take them off for whatever reason at a later date,just unplug and plug in the EGRs and all good?

Would there be a good chance the EGRs would seize up sitting doing nothing for a few years or at a guess they should be OK?
