Ok, got any instructions on that one? I might need to leave it on for the emissions crap when I go to get it all licences properly... As I think I need to match the emmsions out put of the silverado because a newer engine in older car etc...
Or won't a tail pipe test show up that the EGR system has been removed?

i know of 2 and mines in w.a and registered with no EGR crap :thumb: also the one in the pic above has no EGR gear fitted

as for instructions pull all the EGR gear off bin it and weld a plate over the hole where it use to feed out off the up pipes (the things going into the turbo from each exhaust manifold) haha or make new up pipes which is what we normally do

Didn't realise these run an engine oil cooler...

Which Y bridge you gonna run?
Where you getting the coolers from?
What are you doing with the radiator?

Happy New Year mate. Looking forward to the more powerful 2015.

Yep they have a coolant feed oil cooler which we need to remove to clear chassis I'm prty sure...

Gona run heaths y bridge has a very fair priced one!
Coolers etc ordered on line,
Yet to decide on radiator... Not sure if factory one can handle it... Still need to research that one.
