Its going to be a whole map regardless. Maps got to be read and modified. Its up to you how much you want it fiddled with.
Yeah that's true, s'pose its only a couple of quid of diesel wasted...but some of it will be going into my fresh oil.
Unless I leave the oil change until after the regen I guess. Reading the map is easy, I've already done that. Just wondered if there was literally an 'EGR map' that could be turned off in 5 minutes. Rather than have to alter loads of stuff throughout the maps.

I'm sure he could do just the EGR/DPF if you don't want any performance. He's an extremely intelligent guy (he works at the huge BT place in Woodbridge as some sort of technical IT expert) lovely guy who will spend as long as it takes to perfect a map & prevent boost spikes etc.
Funny enough I was near there today, well past the BT offices anyway...my Dad used to work there though lol, shows you don't need to be intelligent to work there.
Problem is, due to the size and complexity of the map, it takes longer so costs more than older cars. I could probably spare a tenner to have the EGR taken off but I can't afford a power map atm...though maybe next year.
