Hi, just sharing my recent experience.
Having recently had a gasket blow on the pipe from the EGR valve to inlet manifold, I removed the centre inlet manifold section and noticed quite a build up of sludge & carbon where the EGR enters the manifold.
I cleaned it all out & replaced the gasket, but on assembly I thought I would try running the car without EGR so left the vacuum pipe off to the valve & just kinked it over.
The difference in performance is loads better, not as hessitant as it was when accelerating from low revs, turbo seems to spin up quicker & pulls really hard from about 1500 all the way up & bonus MPG gone up.
Totally tranformed the car from being great to bloody brilliant.
Anyone else had similiar experience ??
