EGR valve

Post by jamjar1383 »

hi guys,

my hdi has been seeming a bit gutless as of late :( , seems as if the turbo is lagging like a t**t :x , so i was wondering if blanking off the EGR valve would improve responsiveness and power??

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

I don't think you're meant to do that on an HDi.

Not sure but I don't think it's as easy as a TD. Had a search and it looks like engine fault codes, smoke, much hotter combustion, increased emissions. Or nothing :?
