Still smokey with new map mate? :S
TBH im not really to bothered about the amount of smoke which comes from a map aslong as its not loads!!! And its only during heavy load accelration^^
Hows the car?
I finally got my LEDs fitted
EGR delete made some power deifference aswell along with the new exhaust system hehe
No not smokin much now just not happy with only made 190bhp with other map i had more than that on my old one with the dpf in and its bugging me having to clean all black crap off the back end all the time, just thinkin if i can get one cheap ish i will put it back standard and keep my 3 year warrenty!
I keep reading about people doing this. It's got to be better to replace it with a straight pipe than gut it out........................................
If you replace it with a pipe, Instant Fail MOT because DPF will be gone
If you gut the insides, The DPF is still visible therefore MOT Pass!
MOT only visually checks ths DPF (See if there are any holes, damages etc, If it looks good it passes)
And thats why we gut the DPF instead of using a bypass pipe =]
Ofcourse you could take off the pipe before every MOT but i really cant be bothered haha
Also diesels do not get tested on emissions, They only get a smoke test which you should pass easily, even with a remap at stage 1! Stage 2 is far to smokey from what i have seen.......

Hi matey, I have a dfp deleted pipe in the garage if your looking for one. I used to use it for my fr170pd
Wrong
a quick email to VOSA Custom services to clarify this
if you also read the rules for Petrol's section 7.3 you will see it mentions Cat's on every page, when you read the rules for Diesel's section 7.4 there is no mention anywhere of Cat's or DPF's
Diesel cars are only subject to Smoke tests, Cars 58+ Onwards are subject to a more strict smoke test
Section 7.1 also reads " on vehicles that qualify for a full cat emissions test, check the presence of the catalytic converter"
The full cat emissions test is in section 7.3 (Petrol Section)

my PD170 went through 2 MOT's with Milltek DPF Delete pipe fitted, I even stood with the tester when he did the MOT and he didnt check for a Cat/DPF, He did however check the condition of the whole system
They where worried about the Smoke levels, After the injector replacement the smoke levels went down
if i was to turn my Sha.rk Stage2+ map on though it would of failed due to smoke density, its not the amount of smoke produced thats tested its the density of it

short answer is no at the moment your car wouldn't fail an MOT with the DPF removed or missing. however if our MOT comes into line with the rest of Europe regarding a DPF being checked (a. that it is fitted and b. that it has not been tampered with) at the point of testing then it more than definately would be a reason for failure. its all to do with protecting the environment i think!
