It raises the emissions a tiny bit but not enough to fail or be Smokey and that's about it
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Shouldn't do, as all it does is recirculate the exhaust gas to give out less co2, in theory the car "might" run better because cleaner un polluted air is getting in

Blanking should increase mpg and stops reduces the soot build up and will be better for your oil

The egr are horrible things imo all they do is throw old not fully burnt air/gas back into the engine which leaves carbon deposits in the block
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
