I'm aware you still need a ECU EGR delete, however has anyone removed the EGR fully ( not just put a blanking plate in ) ?

If not, has anyone just done the blanking plate?

Any info, pics, pros, cons would be super

A full egr delete would be a knightmare. That includes removing its cooling system.

Much easier with blanking plates and a map

Blanking plates and a map it is then!

Any where you know which sells such plates?

Last time I saw a post about EGR removal and delete a lot of folk pointed out this website for the kit.
