I looked at the emulators but am not convinced that this modification keeps the car legal and if picked up by an insurance assessor could void an insurance claim...my mechanic has an EGR cleaner, cost about $200 to have them cleaned and a brilliant result. Noticeably better performance.
Which EGR cleaner did he use? Regular use of an induction cleaner is a possible alternative to disabling the EGRs. I did both.Quote:

An assessor will be looking for other more obvious stuff that hasn’t been declared and that change the performance of a car. A remap is also difficult to identify and unlikely to be picked up.
Oh the mechanic recommended and then sold it [bigrolf].Quote:

Thanks
Autocode done the work, price was $1150 which was comparable to 2 other quotes, got a few other ecu,s upgraded in the process. Definately a much better car to drive, not sure if it improved fuel economy at this stage but that wasnt the objective of having it done.Quote:
