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.

Needs software to be able to delete the EGR system.Comment

Yes - the EGR slowly blocks the inlet manifold with sticky carbon, especially if you do a lot of idling and coasting (eg city driving). It will happen much more slowly (but will still happen) if you drive with a heavier foot and at speed.
But as mentioned above, you cant simply block an EGR on a modern car - you need to the have software on the cars ECU altered to make it think it does not have an EGR. And in my experience, you cant simply remove the EGR alone, you also need to remove the DPF at the same time.
Another very good idea on a modern diesel is a catch can. Either with or without the EGR delete.Comment
