Edit:- and I wouldn't use silicone, it needs to be heat resistant epoxy stuff if you can't weld it, also if it was to open again its after the turbo so just a massive exhaust leak and a cabin full of coal, you would know about it!!
Another alternative is to make a metal plate the same size as the bottom of the valve and bolt it on in place of the valve with some instant gasket
I thought this black silicone stuff is supposed to be super heat resistant. I'll check the box later.. epoxy looks cheap enough though if you vouch for it then I could buy a tube!
A palte would defiantly be a better solution which I suppose I could do if I got a spare EGR from a scrappy.. :think:
