    no sorry can not help you there as I plugged the pipe going from the exhaust and removed the valve and ground everything out with a dye grinder so the throat is unrestricted and plugged the vacuum tube just don't like the idea of dirty exhaust gases going through the inlet side

    Yep, I plugged mine up too, it was going chug chug chug!!! after the engine was turned off. Something was wrong. I pulled the two vacuum tubes off, got two little threaded bolts, dipped them in silicon and screwed them into the ends of the tubes. I believe you need to cap these otherwise the ECU gets confused. No issues since, hasn't effected anything else.

    Mine doesn't work. There's a blockage in the pipe, no idea how that got there.

    Looks like I'll go down this route. Devon 4x4 in the UK do a really nice looking EGR replacement kit, might import one and get rid of the whole lot..
