Disco Pom?

Humblest apologies o great "Pedro' wizard type person..

As a pond life 'Regular' I will do thy bidding of great wizard .!..

Will come up with a review of the td5alive bypass kit asap..

cheers from your humble servant ..

Are there any torque and power figures for this mod? If not, are there any educated estimates.

For you guys who have put the blanking kit in a 2003MY td5: there is something on Tombie's website about the facelift model having some sort of cooling system relating to the EGR.

Does this produce any complications for the removal? I haven't had a good look at the job yet, but it's on my to-do list, and I don't want to get halfway through and then realize I'm ill-prepared!

Cheers.

Nope, just remove the pipes either side of the cooler.

You dont need to do anything to the cooler, but can make plates to "seal the ends" if you wish to.

or leave it there with open ends i the hope that one day you may get around to removing it all together and joining the hoses

I just made a replacement "snout" for the intake of my TD5.

It was pretty simple if you have a welder and a Drill press.

Now keep in mind I'm here in the states and what I get for materials isn't metric (it's not my fault they haven't changed)

Anyway I used a piece of 2.5" Aluminized exhaust pipe for the hose to connect to. For the base I used some 3/16 steel plate I cut to match the outside of the factory piece. To make the big hole in the middle a 2.5" hole saw was the ticket. Prior to inserting/welding the exhaust pipe into the steel base I used the original part to transfer the mounting hole positions. Do them one at a time inserting a tight fitting pin or bolt in to the drilled holes to make sure they line up just right.

I also moved the wastegate control to the intake by screwing a small barb into my new "snout"

I will have to say the difference in the car's performance is quite dramatic.!
