Did my EGR delete!

what about 2.5?

[jfoldbar]

finally done it. cant see what all the fuss is though. cant feel any difference at all. it is a good thought though that im no longer sucking up rubbish. do wonder if its normal for egr to have so much oil in it and where does it come from? and also what is the purpose of the butterfly on the egr valve? i noticed it never moves whatever the revs are.

butterfly is there as a shut of valve for the engine I believe.

That, and it works to increase vacuum past the EGR inlet, to draw in more or less EGR. It's a restriction, pure and simple.

It is absolutely necessary to do a regen if you have a DPF - GT TDI/Passat in MKV or all MK6 TDI's.

i got thinking, when i done delete, should i have disconnected vacuum hoses from it so butterfly cant work. if it moves after delete engine cant get any air and will choke. what should i do with hoses when i take them off. since they still have vacuum they could suck up dirt if they are just hanging around.

If you disconnect vacuum hoses you should also block them off — quite apart from any dirt (which your engine wouldn't appreciate) the air leakage will upset things no end.

sure does! Big fan of the new driving experience

however my only gripe is by getting rid of the flap, shut off is a lumpy affair, scared the crap out of me when I first turned it off, but then I worked it out and it was all ok

Really? I found it to be about the same as normal but mine is fairly rough anyway. I'm getting no bites on selling it so I'm just about to order the diesel Geek turbo kit and a FMIC.

the 17/22? how much will that turbo set you back? Its got me thinking because my outing at the track the other day left me wanting more power

[Evaded Motorsport]

Nah, going the 1756VK or the 2056VK 17/22 has issues with EMP. Budgeted the next stage of the build. $8,200 give or take lol.

boraparts.com had the 1756vk brand new for $900 or something. Dam cheap for an upgrade!

Doesnt a 1756vk require a custom manifold to fit?

nope, these ones are a single piece turbo/manifold unit. Like the OEM ones

[Evaded Motorsport]

1756VK Requires a custom manifold to fit, the 1749VB is a single piece item. the 1749VB off the PD150 can make up to 200hp the 1756VK can make up to 230hp.

[thealienfromuranus]

A hybrid 1749vb is good for 240hp (179kw)
