jazd's Mini Build Thread

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?

Had the same issue with the bolt inside the intake. It was covered in sludge. I left my intake in a tub full of heavy duty degreaser and then cleaned the gunk with a toothbrush followed by stuffing a rag strip in each inlet and used it like a piece of floss. Very messy.

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

Very glad its gone, does feel a little bit more free flowing. No EGR flow at all now.

Glad you didn't see it last week haha. It gets so filthy out that way when the roads a little wet.

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.

Thanks yeh I have a standard 2.0 tdi (non gt) and the breaks are great... Just so much bloody dust!

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?
