EGR Delete
« on: August 14, 2012, 10:27:06 pm »
Would this do for my GT 140 ?

Would i still be able to instal it even if not thinking about getting it mapped out until later in the year ?

Yours is the BKD so should be right yes. You could fit it then have it mapped out later on but you will have an EML up constantly which shouldn't be a problem aslong as you don't need in MOT in the meantime.

Also look at the darkside developments one. That's the one I have.

Do you find it makes alot of difference ?

It's more of a preventative mod than a performance one so you won't feel any difference when fitted. It will stop your inlet manifold gettin all gunged up. Here's my egr and asv after only 20k  :fighting:

Get the Darkside Developments one, Why? because its slightly cheaper

I ran the Darkside One on my Stage2+ PD170 for ages, Ran it with Light on for ages and eventually got it mapped out by Shark.

Car ran smoother and solved a few stuttering issues i had

Darkside one is also one piece so looks nicer and meant to be stronger too (no welds)

Would agree with Andrew. Cleared up the stuttering I was gettin too. Was driving me mad.

Right! Spot on guys, thanks for the help.. Thinking of ordering it today. Is it just bolt off bolt on ? I read somewhere about removing the cooler or something. Sounds like a fart on doing that.

I recently asked a well known tuning company about this mod and they advised me not to do it as MPG will get way worse! How are you guys finding it after fitting?

Its not too bad of a job but generally speaking yes its unbolt the EGR then bolt in the delete pipe. I'd get yourself some carb cleaner aswell so you can give the ASV abit of a clean whilst its off. One thing you will find is that you have to bend the pipe that connects to the EGR slightly so you can get the blankig plate on. This goes round the back of the engine and connects to the cooler. I couldn't get it off myself and had it removed when I had the DPF deleted. Bloke who did it had to cut it in half.

The cooler can be removed as its not doing anything but isn't necessary to take off.

I have seen a slight decrease in mpg's since having mine deleted but I also had it mapped at the same time. The computer usually reads between 47-52 mpg on my commute to wor. Previously it was 58 ish. Although the computer reads lower mpg's, I still get the same, if not more miles to £40.

Cheers Matto, never seen those sort of figures from my PD140 except when it was new out the box. Since the first map it's been low, now since stage 2 hybrid its even worse sometimes down to my right foot, but not on motorway cruising.
