egr pipe removed

[lukegaudy]

haves just removed my egr pipe becuase I found there is no gasket inbetwee the pipe and exhaust manifold, so ive removed the pipe to trace a plate to do the egr mod.

is the car driveable without the egr pipe on, leaving the exhaust manifold and the other side left open for the time being ??

If the EGR pipe is removed and not blocked off it will have a massive exhaust leak. It wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion.

Not drivable at all ^^^ for that reason. Under load, you could even do damage to other bits in the engine bay. Your turbo will have difficulty spooling so you'll push harder ... no, don't even put the key in the ignition.

and you will suck crap in the open intake side. don't do it....

Would it still be right to drive of the pipe is still there only had a crack in it ? A mechanic told me it would be find just leave the windows open so u don't gas your self out does this sound right where would be the best place to buy a new pipe ?

 

[tweak'e]

just a crack is ok as you will only loose a small amount of boost.
however its unknown to how long before it breaks right off and its really slow and noisy when it does !

 

[joe.weeden]

Yeah that's a fair call were would be the cheapest place for one eBay?

 

[tweak'e]

just block the egr off.

As i said luke, dont run it unless its blocked!

Give Paul from YD25.com a call. 0424 034 935 He dose a full EGR delete pipe kit. Don't know how much they are but they are good quality. That kit will just get rid of the whole thing.

Could be a cheaper option with definite gains.

Cheers.

If you put blanking plates in both ends of the pipe then the crack won't matter.
