Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Hey man I went ahead and bought the darkside developments Egr delete.
And have since installed it, (was a pain to remove the Egr and fit new one mostly die to the Egr cooler pipe being in the way, and I have fat hands haha)
But warning, if you do this you will get a engine light "emissions garage" which is caused by the removal of the original Egr which has a flap inside too a straight pipe from dark side.
But I have been told that with a tune this can be tuned out.
My car has 992xx Kms and was pretty filthy. I didn't remove my inlet due to lack of daylight but I cleaned with about 4 rags as far as I could while It was still on.
It is worth doing but make sure you have Allen keys that are under 4-5 inches in lenth (I hade longer ones around 6inch and it just made everything a real pain in the ass!)Hennessy Auto Styling MK5 TDI [SIZE=3]|| United Grey || Sunroof & Leather || 18x8.5 +45 Rotiform BLQ and 17x8 17x9 +39 Stern Reverse Face II || K Sport Deluxe Air Suspension || After Market OEM Style Body Kit and Accessories!

Haven't had occasion to look at one, but in a tight spot I've found the best way is often to cut a short length off an Allen key, then use a socket and ratchet (or a ratchet spanner.)Originally posted by lhennessy View PostComment

When I did it, I found that it was actually a T27 or T28 bit, not T25 or T30.
Made a big differenceComment

Yeh I would've cut them but there were not mine I borrowed them.
And all the bolts on mine are Allen keys, I think the manifold is torx though?

Nothing like having 1/8 or 1/4in socket set and bits and extensions to get to bolts etc in those tight places\( O ) o\====(\X/)=TDI=/o ( O )/ 2011 Jetta Mk5 125TDI - Squidly

Yes but yours may be different being GT.
I know that my Egr ones are Allen keys because I had to borrow some because I didn't have them with me when I went to do it Nd had to borrow a mates set.
I had all my torx drivers haha
Anyway, worth doing but make sure you have short drivers (torx or Allen depending.)
Spoke to Tim at Dub Addiction and he said he doesn't have the option of tuning the Egr and didn't know anyone local that is offering it either so I may have to some digging.Hennessy Auto Styling MK5 TDI [SIZE=3]|| United Grey || Sunroof & Leather || 18x8.5 +45 Rotiform BLQ and 17x8 17x9 +39 Stern Reverse Face II || K Sport Deluxe Air Suspension || After Market OEM Style Body Kit and Accessories!

Go to a vw specialised mechanic with a vagcom, and turn the EGR to minimum functionOriginally posted by lhennessy View Post
It is not possible to remove egr function completely with the standard ECU
Tuners offering a tune for your engine will be able to code out the EGR with the tune if you buy it06 Polo TDiComment
