yeah, and from what i have read on here so far, the lucas PCM controlled ones can be a bit of a PITA, so im glad its the bosch one i got.

Been out fiddling with the engine...

not to happy with this area, too many changes needed

Much happier with this, would have fully removed the air box - but i dont have all my tools in the van

It fits here, needs a few brackets, but that aint no problem - if you own a tranny - you really should be handy at metal work lol

a few questions now - the egr seems to totally self contained, so can i remove the full unit, and put a blanking plug on the manifold??

The plan is looking like running the boost pipe straight from the s/c to where the egr is mounted on the intake pipe

more soon

What about your NOX emissions for the MOT :?:

Weren't these EGR thingies meant to help :?:

Otherwise why were they fitted in the first place :?:

Also, I thought you were going to fit the unit where the A/C compressor goes :?:

The EGR was fitted to come inline with new EU rulings, but without it you are still well within the MOT emisions tests.

i will deal with mot when that (dreaded) time comes (i will get a new mot just before i fit it)

I was seriously considering mounting in the ac position, but (with limited tools) so attempt 2 seemed ideal - nice and high and a very short distance for the air to travel from s/c to intake. (this is good)

i just scraped a 1/4" thick layer of gunk/crap/oil deposits ect off the flapper in the egr - that really cant help airflow.
