Hi,

 

Sorry to start this off again :wack: , looked in search but some threads are 2 year old now!

 

Basically engine out and done all the usuall and cant decide to leave it or rip it out!?!?

 

So from wot i read it is advised to get ur car chipped to help prevent dett after removal, and how would it affect the emissions in the MOT?

 

Will admit from removin this and the turbo bypass it deffo cleans up the back of the engine?

 

So wot ur thoughts folks!

:tongue: Bump

its one of those 6 of one half a dozen of the other,as said if you need to remove the plenum in the future its alot easier to weld up the EGR and blank of the feeds,and to make room for fiddly jobs at the back of the engine to the turbo feeds etc

 

down side in some circumstances is it can cause small idle problems,which go unnoticed,if you have an aftermarket exhaust systym & decat then you may aswell remove the EGR do a water bypass aswell saves any water leaks under the plenum to be bypassed

 

not sure what you mean by get the car chipped after removal,yes if you have a boost increase,then change the chip to aalter the fueling etc! making it less unlikely to get detonation

Its comin off then, one less thing to wrong!!

Get rid of it!! One of the to do thing's when you're engine is out.. Emmission will still be fine, in my case my CO reading was actually better on the following MOT after removal!!! :Hyper:
