Up to you, like I said I just reached under the inlet manifold with a 12mm deep socket on a ratchet

Just took one off.What happens about the pipe running to the exhaust if you remove it completly my worry would be although its a fairly think pipe if its not supported the vibration from the engine will eventialy cause it to crack and fail unless its properly supported.I think if i were doing it would use some 1mm copper and slide it in one side and leave the valve in place the copper will also act as good gasket to seal gasses

I just left the pipe loose, it sits on top of the bell housing. I thought about tieing it up to the bracket on the block with some wire coat hanger or sommit, but I've left it for now. Mine had some up and down movment anyway, like it was lose on the exhaust anifold, not sure how it attaches exhast side as i think its under the turbo heat shiel, didnt have a proper look just figured i'd keep my eye on it and listen for a developing blow and perhaps weld sommit over it depending on how it attaches to the manifold/turbo etc

ok, i still need a blanking plate. I cant get one made myself, and i cant buy one. I have been in touch with a guy on Ebay, but he wants dimensions, which I dont have.

can anyone make me one?

i'm also wanting to do the ejr blanking but haven't had the balls yet until i'm 100% sure what to do! is it just a matter of unbolting the egr ans putting a plate in then putting the egr back on to make it look normal? if that's all, i might have a go

basically yes ..... allthough you may need longer bolts to bolt the egr back on .... i had my egr valves ( i had 2 ) completely removed and the blanking plate put over the holes using the original bolts
