I haven't but the one thing I would be wary of is that the EGR recirculates hotter gas into the emissions which is better for the DPF.

Will aid warmup of the engine, but EGR actually lowers EGT's as with less available oxygen you get lower combustion temps and less NOX emissions. It's the entire reason EGR is even present - NOX. I am getting higher EGT's and DPF temp readings with the EGR disabled, so it's actually better for the DPF!

Oddly enough whilst NOX emissions do in fact increase without EGR, Soot production decreases, as there is more O2 available. Soot is a lack of air, and EGR is a double edged sword, as it is your DPF's enemy. I am monitoring my DPF loads to see if this is in fact reality, and I figure I have potentially increased NOX, but lowered soot production.

I'm now about to finally turn on the water meth, lowering my EGT's and thus NOX ( in theory! ).

well my CR is a lot smoother than my PD ever was, but i have ordered the gasket anyway and ill fit it at the weekend and let you all know if i can tell a difference, at least i wont clog up so fast

fitted this today lads thanks. hardest thing was finding a torx spline to fit but eventually bought one second hand of a very generous man at motor mania or something along those lines for £2. wasnt paying machine mart £30 for a set. no error light yet took it down the a38 a junction and back. havent really noticed much change but swapped my spare wheel for a can so it feels better anyway. early days anyhow

Fitted the Gasket you mean? I run my car without any rear interior and its alot better

yeah i meant fitted the gasket, i was on my phone so wasnt even sure this message got through. I shouldnt have taken the tyre out, maybe then i would noitce a difference but still im happy, got a bit better mpg today at work as well
