Just getting to terms with all these mods so wondering whats needed and how much? plus upsides and downsides

Replaces your EGR valve & anti shudder valve unit with a straight pipe.

Upside - no recirculated exhaust gases cacking up your EGR and inlet manifold. Clean air only all the time. Better breathing + clean air = more reliable, better power.

Downside - car will need EGR mapping out to prevent engine light coming on. Slight extra shudder on stopping car (hasn't bothered me in several years) and "potential" for engine runaway in the event of turbo failure, which anti shudder valve would stop. Not personally heard of a runaway PD engine yet.

Cost of part alone is about £50-£70 depending on where you go / who you use.

okay where is there TO GO? and is this the answer to judder in BLT engine? not that ive ever noticed it but never drove an ASZ

The EGR I have is from these people (under their old name)

It is exactly what it says it is it DELETES the EGR (Exhaust gas re-circulation) valve
