Who does the best one for a PD140? Also does the map need to be adjusted to allow for this being removed?

I have the billet one from Darkside Developments. Nice piece of kit. Send a message to ryanp on here. He's one half of Darkside and should be able to sort you out.

I don't think its the map itself that will need altering but I think the fault code is removed so not to flag an engine management light. If I scan mine with VCDS, it shows an egr fault because its unplugged but I get no fault lights on the dash.
