Best get a quote on a new VVT turbo guys, if it goes pop.. not cheap..
either is the engine.

Ive found diddly squat advantages of disconnecting it, i only disconnected mine as it was busted and noisy, fuel is the same, power barely noticable if anything. Software is what is needed to properly rectify the EGR to gain the full benifit of the modification. remove it completely.

Davidd's EGR must have been stuck open, this explains the massive difference he has achieved from disconnecting it.

Best way to save Alot of fuel is free wheeling hubs, pulling the front axle due to breakage on trail has dropped my fuel by over 4L per hundred city traffic. (will be back to normal once axles sorted)

Davidd, shouldn't rattle at all, must be another issue. there is a knock sensor, but being a diesel the knock threshold is very high
