Down with EGR

I had my EGR delete kit arrive today from Brickwerks.  It contains a fibre gasket and a nicely machined stainless steel plate.  I set to work this morning on fitting it.

Removing the 2 screws using a Torx bit was easy.  They weren't that tight and I managed not to drop them.  I then slid the plate in place.  It was impossible to fit the gasket as well do I have chanced it for now  (Ill look for any tell tale leaks later).

It wasn't all trouble free however.  I dropped one of the screws into the engine bay... Those of you who have looked under their T5 will now that there is a plastic underbody fitted!  20mins later I recovered the screw and put everything back together.

It definetely makes a difference to the transient performance of the vehicle (as expected..  I am an engineer of the engine variety..)  We will have to see what, if any, MPG gains are had.  Ill keep you posted.

After fitting I took a trip to Cannock chase and did the short trail (follow the dog) as I didn't have much time.
