EGR blanking plate

[dannyh]

Has anyone blocked off the EGR??
My mechanic has suggested doing it tomorrow when he fits my new turbo but im not exacally sure what it does
He said he canblank it off but drill a small hole in the blank so the EGr still picks up a little flow to stop thelight on the dash

anyone done it,what are the benifits?

i did it on my tdi. wouldnt recommend it, if anything car felt less responsive, turbo died a few days after fitting. maybe coincidence, maybe not.....
