^^^^Totally agree, most people could blank EGR themselves without the need to buy the plate, like bash and piggy said, these plates would be more sought after

Advantage of culls design is you could put the plate in without removing the bolts as you could loosen them and slot it in?

i wouldn't even bother asking the guy for his time
its the same with the airbag resistors people were sending them out for less than i could make them
Ebay prices + postage+ paypal fees kill most ventures
turbo plates will be all different to, so without a pattern its hard to set up
then everyone wouldn't want the same turbo
anyway the guy has gone into hiding I guess lost down the back of his HDI trying to fit the blank plate

make piggy a new turbo and manifold plate out of that same plate you made the blanking plugs out of.. he can have a manifold plate that's better quality than his gash welding.

Agree'd. Genuinely don't understand how stuff on ebay is so cheap. Cheaper to have something posted from China than to drive to town and buy the same item these days!
