Lol it does look like a daunting task but if you remove the items 1 by 1 ie complete the air pump removal, then the N112 etc it should all fall into place. When I get mine done I'll give you a shout mate. I haven't got my car atm otherwise I would have had it done by now - paternity leave lol

its not that hard mate , use to could meet at mine and al supervise yous if yous want

That sounds like a plan mate, and you're not too far away!

Sounds like a plan : ) can we get a clear parts list in place to attack these mods? Me and broona can get these sorted beforehand. Ta

Yeah, I'd like a good idea of exactly what's needed too, be a pain to get half way through and not have the bits to finish, ha ha!

Want to do this delete on mine, can you let me know how you get on?, and is there a clear guide on here on how to do it?

Is there a youtube guide?

I bypassed my n249 using the original pipes and left the n249 plugged in. I'm based in shields and I want to finish the removal of stuff from mine also.

Hi guys I did this mod today; definitely straight forward enough to do! Not for the faint hearted though! Especially removing the egr and loosing the coolant. But I'm no mechanic so it shows you can do this yourselves people : ) I fitted a CAI while I was there too - this was actually more frustrating than the entire valve removals.

I used the very useful guide in the tech section - even without the images the steps all made sense when physically carrying out the job. Just make sure your wearing your brass pair when you dive in there.

A confirmed items list:

• 13mm deep socket

• 10mm deep socket

• 5mm hex socket

• A considerably larger one for the SAP bracket - cant remember size sorry.

• I used a bendy socket extension - you WILL at least need a 90 degree knuckle joint

• G12 coolant

• Forge EGR Blanking plate

• 1 meter of 4mm vacuum hose silicone

• 3 x 330ohm 10w resistors - I will post link a big thanks to Rob for pointing me in the right direction here : )

• 2.5mm high temp wire approx 1 foot will do you don't need much

• 2.5mm heat shrink to cover solder joints

• soldering iron

• solder lol

• axle stands

• hydraulic jack

• electricians tape

• a reliable flat headed screw driver to remove the awkward original hose clips

• Stanley knife to remove vacuum original vacuum pipes from hard lines - mine had melted to the pipe work do couldn't be pulled off

• a box to put all your parts in

• finally a hell of a lot of patience and elastoplasts on stand by lol

I think that's it guys. For me the tools were the only stumbling block and the job took do much longer because I had to find these as I went. But as most whom have carried out this mod have said; it shouldn't take you any longer than 3 hours from start to finish even to an amateur like me : )

I hope this post helps you other guys out : )

Just bite the bullet and dive in
