    EGR blanking mod and parts on e-bay

    Just had a look at your previous post... as long as the cleaned EGR valve has a bigger bore that some other part up steam ie the MAF tube, then it becomes of little use to increase the flow in this area... it's already determined by the previous restriction?... I think your right.. the...

    EGR blanking mod and parts on e-bay

    Just took the dim's from the EGR valve last night as I was going to make something at work today to replace it and improve the flow.. I've also seen the ones on E-bay where it suggests a 40% increase in flow etc over the orig unit... The question I have is that the available flow hole thru the...
