It raises the emissions a tiny bit but not enough to fail or be Smokey and that's about it

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

I think so yes, it's the first thing I do with any corsa even if it isn't faulty
