Default EGR mod question

I am thinking of doing this mod, but I am wonderiing if doing this mod would be the same as just diconnecting and pluging the vacume hose right at the EGR valve (the one bolted to the back of the engine).

If this is not the same could someone explain the difirence in these 2 approaches.

oh and the EGR mod is the one described here: https://forums.audiworld.com/12v/msgs/2019.phtml

Is there a better one or is this the one that every onbe has been talking about.

thanks for all info

Default Re: EGR mod question

Ahh, I found another post with a nice diagram:
https://forums.audiworld.com/12v/threads/1987.phtml#16850

AND I can see that it's not the same...

However does any one know the diffirence between this original mod and just unpluging the vacume between the EGR valve and the EGR Valve Controll Solenoid. then sealing both ends ?

thanks for any and all info

Default That IS Audiboy's EGR mod

It's the only method that will not result in a CEL.

Default Re: That IS Audiboy's EGR mod

I tried "my" method for a week and I did not get a CEL. I wonder than if this has something to do with the fact that my 12v is ODB I.

I will try Audiboy's mod and see if there is any diffirence in how pepy the car is...

Default The EGR valve needs to be connected, but Audiboys mod allows..

..the valve to run when the OBD checks it. In normal driving it doesn't operate.
