Hey!

I've been reading up on blocking off the EGR, and so far it seems that the only downside would be the higher NOx output, unless the "seal" breaks (ex. Soda can-cutout etc).

My only issue yet would be that i can't seem to find any block-out kits for the OM604.912, so i guess i'll have to cut one out myself.

The questions i am left with, since i have no experience creating my own "parts", would be:

1. Metal or Aluminium? How thick should it be?
2. Gasket? Is it neccesary?
3. If a solid YES to the question above, what material should i use to create the gasket? Cork? The tube with the liquid gasket-material?

I apologize for my lousy English, but it's not my native language - Norwegian is

Thanks in advance for any replies

Why in thors name are you screwing with the EGR---use the time to go salmon fishing!

Supposedly better responsiveness, less engine muckus, better mpg.

And i don't own patience enough to go fishing

How will you ever pass the emissions test!!

I've contacted the local dmv and i should be able to pay a one-time tax to re-register the car with the higher NOx-output.
