A return for repair service should avoid the need for different packaging options.
Have you looked at the 4.4 TDV8's EGR valve's electrical connector? From parts diagrams it appears that it probably uses the same electric motor c/w connector as the 3.0 which would not be surprising, being of the same development era.
Is there more info on this somewhere?Quote:

If the TDV8 EGR stays open longer on startup I can see why these motors don't like short runs, which is what I often do. However, I haven't noticed a change in the sound of the motor after its warmed up.Quote:

[QUOTE=Gally;2489214]NO the butterfly is left in.
I think with the other emulators, they need an external power source to be wired to and they are set to output a closed EGR voltage. The EGR map is then altered to 0% open, Keeping the ecu happy.
Do these emulators need a power source of some kind or is it built in ?.
Might actually be better to unplug both rather than just one, in case it does funny things to the engine running one emulator and one standard issue.Quote:

This is a great way of doing it if you are wanting a remap, but for me, I don't want or need a remap yet. I would like to disable EGR but I don't have any desire at the moment for a remap. Maybe one day I will get the ECU tuned, and then I will also disable EGR, and would then probably on sell my EGR emulator kit to someone who would like one.Quote:
