Hi Rory,

The link of yours below copied is the one I used.

It blanks off the EGR pipe from the manifold so you can totally dispose of this pipe, AND the electrically operated valve.

The Small 5mm vacuum pipe is simply blanked off by folding the pipe & securing with a zip tie... & the electrical connection is just tied out of the way....

When you do the job, place a small rag UNDER the EGR unit, as the Torx bolts will drop under the engine other wise... the rag catches them..

Total time to do the job... about 30 mins.

The engine breathes a little better, & give a tinsy bit more torques & maybe a mile or two better economy.
It is also worth getting a K&N air filter, as this does add a few HP to the performance.
Cheers
Grant B
