Good to hear man, I’m glad it could help

Charles - you didnt remove the cooler when you deleted the EGR? Did you just remove the two pipes and add the block off plates?

@@jackoakes7979 you don’t even need to remove any of it. You can just get it tuned out if you don’t want to get your hands dirty at all. I planned on doing a hood stack and needed to remove the cooler

Of course bro

Yeah man, I threw a self tapper in the vacuum lines and called it good

@jaxon.frandrup alright awesome I made the mistake of taking everything apart and not making anything so I've been trying to sort it out.

@@xaviersrose9 to be honest man, the one on top of the cooler you really don’t need if you’re fully deleting the egr system. The one on the side (the first one I broke, and ordered) is kinda important for a BEW intake manifold. That one controls little butterfly valves in the intake runners. If you switch to a BRM or PD150 intake manifold you can delete that, and get improved flow/efficiency/power/torque/milage, all of that. Deleting that line just means putting another plug in it I guess. I haven’t had issues with mine yet and it’s been a few years so

I put a self tapper in the end of one of the vacuum lines for the egr actuator and the actuator on the side of the intake manifold I just put a new actuator on it

@@jaxon.frandrup lol that’s what I ended up doing, but one other thing, did you get a egr valve replacement pipe or did u just leave the valve in?

@@brodyrichard9164 I just left the valve itself in. You can take it out and put a plate there but it doesn’t really make a difference

yes, i love it. it takes a while for the heater to warm up in the cabin, but other than that there’s no bad side effects

L eft the cooler and plugs in place just router the coolant lines and removed the egr flap and I don't have a code less work but the cooler will still be there in the way. If you live in a cold place don't do it. My heater would not keep up in -20 and my feet was freezing enough to get frost bite I stopped at gas station to buy heated blanket. Only do it if you live in a warm climate.

@@charles-ih7zpI’m good not gonna destroy my engine with egr to have a little heat

😁

Vacuum valve actuator is the first one he broke with the tail.

I broke my vacuum booster lines lol all this vacuum related stuff sucks. It's all too fragile.

That's what I'm here for. Mine was broke when I got to it. Now I'm wondering if that flap it controls can be wired open or shut and be done with it.

Why would you order a part that shuts half your intake flow ? Imagine being so stupid you delete the egr for more power and clean air and then you replace the swirl flap actuator

niceeee

Honestly I can’t remember. It was the first time taking the egr cooler out for me, but I’ve removed the egr valve itself before

@@jaxon.frandrupwhy would you remove the egr valve before and then plug it back in

@@steve5912 idk

@@steve5912 I took it out to clean it but you don’t have to

nope. just a check engine light, but that’s to be expected. after i got it tuned, it got rid of the light

If getting a tune, usually makes the ride a little more reliable. No exhaust going back into your engine.

yeahh, i left it in. basically acts as a plug. it doesn’t do anything. i want a BRM manifold or a PD150 manifold though, that should allow me to get rid of the actuator/valve itself

@@jaxon.frandrup Im planning an EGR delete myself, I think ill also leave it on as a cheap asv valve assurance incase of a runaway, I really dont want to pay $250 for a milled racepipe plus $100 for a tune when I can just buy a tune, leave the valve and get rid of the rest of the cooler and other junk.

​@jaxon.frandrup did you end up getting a manifold? And which one did you get? I have an 04 bew and thinking on doing it.

depends on where you get it tuned and how they tune it. i personally went to a shop and had them make a tune specially for my car (egr deleted and vnt17/22 turbo) so he was able to tweak a couple things. out the door it was a little over 750usd

@@jaxon.frandrup did you need an aftermarket computer or chip? Or can you tune the factory computer?

@@whatta7793 tune the factory ecu

@@whatta7793 tuned the factory computer

that would be a vacuum actuated plunger. it connects on to the intake manifold and opens and restricts flow in the manifold

It controls the butterfly valve for your manifold.

Anti-Shudder Valve (ASV) control

If you’re talking about the evry mod, the answer is no. It is a BEW and has a different injection system when comparing it to an ALH.

can you eliminate the rest of of the EGR system? like the exhaust gas recirculation valve on my jetta bew? They have that straight pipe for the ALH.

yes

you could take it out and make another plate to go over the manifold, but i just left it

@@jaxon.frandrup could you not just put a steel plate between the exhaust pipe, and the EGR, that comes from the cooler to the EGR, and just leave the cooler assembly the way it is, . The exhaust should not circulate up through the cooler if it has no where to go, and the coolant can just run through the cooler and carry on to where ever it goes???? Or am I being a little simplistic Rick

@@rickbradley682good question, i plan to do the egr delete on my engine. But even if you replace the whole unit with a pipe it’s very cheap

@@rickbradley682yeah you can do that! Just block it off with a plate and call it a day. I removed the cooler because I’m extra, I don’t know. I honestly just wanted all of that crap out of there, but you can leave it in and have no issues

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate the feedback

This video is a few years old. I learned that a while ago, and I appreciate you looking out for me. Since the recording of this video I got a job in a diesel truck shop and I’ve gone to school learning how to do a lot of intense jobs. I appreciate the comment, and thank you for looking out for me👍
