Your EGR is highly clogged. Mine was about half that. Glad it's gone eh?

So no gas flows through the EGR at all now?

I used a toothbrush but didn't think of flossing it with a rag strip.. Damit.. Next time hey :facepalm:

You've ben quiet Jazd.

Hows the EGR delete going?
Any plans to remove the EGR pipe (to cooler) or just leave it there?

With the rotors and pads... Any chance it got rid of the intense amount of brake dust?

Yeah the EGR delete pipe is in, no problems other than the rubber hose popping off it a few times because its too short after I cut the metal crimped on clip off the end of it. I bought some silicone hoses to replace it. Might remove the cooler when I'm replacing my turbo temperature sensor.

Yeah it did cut it back, can't say I'm that impressed with the stopping power though. The old original setup felt better.

I got DBA street series slotted rotors with Remsa pads, works great, pretty much no dust, a bit less initial bite than OEM but that's actually a good thing. What are you running jazd? Can't seem to find a mention from previous posts.

EGR off on mine too now, so much less smoke! Mine was pretty filthy too.

Mine are Hawk HPS pads. Yeah less bite would be expected but it takes a while for them to warm up or something before they stop well. I have slotted Adams rotors on the front.

Awesome result, how did you remove the EGR? Buy a Darkside kit?
