The exhaust gas travels through the coolers before getting to the EGR. They are bolted together.Quote:

Removing then also deletes coolant pipelines associated with the cooler which is a shell and tube style cooler.
So are the coolant fittings that go to the EGR coolers just blanked off or do you connect the in and out with a hose so it can still flow through?Quote:

Brilliant, thanks. I’ll do some digging and try to find the other post with the details.Quote:

Found this thread which has some discussion on removing the EGR coolers.
D3 EGR Valve Removal Latest Options?
The EGRs were blanked when I bought mine. Later I was told the coolers were corroded/ing so they were removed.
thanks for the info,
can you confirm the blanking plates for a D3 is the same as the D4. ??
BAS only sell plates for the D3... assuming the same ?
Probably a question best asked to BAS. Let us know the answer though.Quote:

Thinking about taking all the EGR hardware off...
I have blanked off the egrs with a D3/D4 blank kit.
And re flashed the ECU to remove the EGR using the BAS egr patch.
Patch worked as expected, and was easy using the IID BT
results. more power, and better initial acceleration from a start. just seems more urgent in acceleration.
