Ive seen on that car im breaking the amount of shite on the inside of the exhaust pipe, or whatever it is that is metal and goes to the top of the intercooler. Would cleaning this out make a difference to the running of the car?

probably not because within a few days it will be full of sh*t again ..

most of that crap is caused by the egr doing its job.
thats why im gonna clean it out then blank it off

Im interested in the EGR blanking, from what i understand its ok when its new, but when it gets old it makes the engine less efficent.
How do you do that then?

on the elbow for the intercooler there's a metal pipe that goes into it u need to put that plate in between that and the elbow, u may need a new gasket though, ive just bought one of those as i cba to make one and im gonna use it when i fit the intercooler

you know i might buy his de egr kit. I was thinking of just getting the exhaust manifold cleaned when i take the car for a service, but ill ask the mechanic to fit the de egr kit.

its a good idea to have it done it can in some case's make a derv engine live longer, it'll make it run better as it not running on burnt gases, im doing this and getting rid of the cat then adding the i/c then its map time.
with all that lot it goes stright to stage 2 tune and i should see some good gains.

so my car is a hdi 110 and i suppose with the dud egr its down a bit on 110. So the performance will be better with the blanking plate? Hopefully more than that time i unplugged that wire. Will a de egr bring up any Engine Management Issues.
As for the decat is the cat not the same as the FAP?

as long as u leave the egr connected and just insert the blanking plate in the elbow it wont.
as for the cat unless u have a fap witch i doubt then a decat would be removing the first box in the exhaust system.

well i contacted the seller he is going to send me the kit. And hopefully instructions.
I have no FAP, but what help will a decat do, would this affect the car in the MOT emissions test.

diesels dont have a emissions test they have a smoke test so no it wont affect it.
it help the turbo spool up quicker thus giving better throttle responce and can improve the mpg too.

how much he charge u for the kit???
just remember to blank the eletro valve pipe then u fit the kit or you'll get a eml

the seller says buy 2 then send a message in paypal and you get the kit.

cool thanks

come to think of it where's your tom jones inspired sig gone????

the sig was not my work. I think it was either steve or welly and i just nabbed it, so the credit goes to whoever it was that made it. Tom jones is a fantastic singer.
Its a bit sh*t now.
Your sig on the other hand is fantastic.
Our 406s hit the fence with the rear of the car, if your in a HDI not at very much speed compared to a V6. But you will keep on going further than a 1.8

how do you do a decat?
