You can get the blanks with a small hole in so it doesn't put your management light on. That way it will take longer to clog it up than normal, invade you didn't want to delete it.

Seen those, but the VX forums don't rate them. Thanks anyway.
Anyone else. |

Car now pulls like a train again, and the juddering at 1500rpm in 4th has disappeared. No smoke on acceleration any more and starts first pull. So...we are back to square 1 with it. Now...do I get an EGR delete done, in order to stop this happening again? Depends on if you are keeping it! EGR and oil breather system is the source of the soot and oil sludge (assuming the turbo oil seals aren't that leaky) that essentially is what killed the manifold. Although the flap linkages are plastic so they are always going to wear. I'd also be temped to disable the swirl flaps so they are open all the time; that way they won't jam or wear out. Alternative is to run a Intake cleaner through it every year as preventative maintanence; Just be careful when using it as some stuff I've used has got the downpipe cherry-red!! :eek: |
Do you know of a good 'un?
And yes, we'll have this for a while, even if we have a new car, wife would like to tow a small caravan, so we need this, since all our car choices are banned from towing:( |
