Getting rid of the egr cooler on the back of the inlet - Paul_13 - 11-05-2016
From what I understand the earlier hdi's come without this , as I'm putting the gt2052s on I want to get rid of all the egr gubbins
Is it just the case the water distribution block is different ie one port blanked off and the pipes are a different route up top which don't pass through the cooler ?

Yep, sack it off, block both manifolds and join the pipes together.. 25mm copper pipe works fairly well if a little tight to fit in.

Cool, I've got a purpose made joiner already lying about.
Both mani's will be blocked when the turbo goes on.
Was looking at the standard 306 egr solenoid and it's huge!
I had it in my mind there were 3 pipes going into the egr cooler heater thing, that right? Or just the 2.
I'm getting confused by the thermostat housing I think
For the connection around the back

can you use the cooler out and inlets to cool the CHRA?
might be worth a thought

Isn't a water cooled one unfortunately, could of done it with the td04 no problem

Only two pipes on the coolers, one in and one out. The egr valve itself is pretty huge, i *think* it's for cooling so the diaphragm doesn't die - on modern cars it's usually on the inlet end of the egr pipe, or at least not mounted directly to the exhaust mani lol.

Ah good just the 2 pipes, happy days
