    I better confirm which manifold I have, as it is a bit different to yours I think. Might need to do some-a-measurin'.

    What sort of increase in HP are you feeling? Much?
    is your engine code AXR??

    no real HP increase, it just feels more linear again, and smooth. I like it!

    Getting rid of the EGR flap makes it a much smoother car to drive!

    sure does! Big fan of the new driving experience

    however my only gripe is by getting rid of the flap, shut off is a lumpy affair, scared the crap out of me when I first turned it off, but then I worked it out and it was all ok

    Can you give me the engine code from the Caddy manual?
    Ok will do. I'd obviously rather get it thru you though, dude. Happy for you to contact them if you want the business.

    Engine # is BLS according to my rego papers (had them handy).

    Also a quick note. When you do the EGR delete, blank it off from the exhaust manifold, You can blank it from three different places along the EGR itself. I blanked it from the top and the flex joint on my EGR pipe snapped

    There are two coolant hoses that connect to the cooler, when you take the cooler off you obviously have to join them so the coolant continues to circulate. To do this, locate the hose that connected to the EGR from a T-Piece. Take that off and place the elbow hose that connected to the EGR cooler and connect that to the T-Piece. Looks OEM and it works.

    While I was there I cleaned out my intake. Christ that was a messy job!

    Really? I found it to be about the same as normal but mine is fairly rough anyway. I'm getting no bites on selling it so I'm just about to order the diesel Geek turbo kit and a FMIC.
