Well that is sounding mighty good to me slim.

I assume this is the beasty on the V6? Looks like it has a thin stainless gasket?

I've just thrown some coin GLXR-Alex's way for one of these plates so I can blank off the EGR. Hopefully I will have this sorted in a week or so...then I can report back on the results. :D

On ya Adz!

From memory though....which is very, very bad I might add...they are different sizes.
Ours looks like a smaller flange to me.

If that's the case I'll make two and send you one if you want. You can put the other one on Ebay....tell him he's drreamin' ;)

Let me know mate, cause if it fits I'll get one off Alex's too to save getting off my fat burger filled arse.

Hmmm, that could be a problem then cos I've already paid GLXR-Alex for one. Maybe he can transfer the funds to you Homer?

If you can send me a couple that would be great, thanks mate!

No just wait till you get it and check...I suffer badly from CRAFT.
If it doesn't fit I'm sure Alex will refer the next request for a blank plate to you to recoup your cash :)

I'll do you a special one off deal if you need one mate. ;)

What? Did you fit it to the 3.2CRI....? when i installed mine ,the shocking turbo lag was eliminated so you get a great increase in low end power below 2500rpm.. Others can confirm this

Nothing like that mate - but I'm getting bad surging and my motor keeps stopping with a P0093 code :evil:

I have taken out the TDC Chip to see if that makes a difference, and so far I haven't had a code
