dipping the manifold straight into water when its still hot could cause it to crack

I love how people ALWAYS feel the need to talk trash, "This guys trying to help people. Let's misspell words and cal him a

Fag!" I think the problem is that most nay-sayers are sitting around bagging on other people and never take the initiative to do something like this themselves. To the maker of this video, thanks for the tip. To the trash talkers please work on your vocabularies and spelling before you criticize others. Poor grammar just makes you fools seem more ignorant than those you cri

Pouring petrol through the manifold is an easier way of cleaning it

@stuntcrazy8 Same in USA also, but like I said, it's not JUST blocking off the EGR. You have to adjust the electronics (parts from Radio Shack.) Remember, the EGR isn't letting exhaust gas into the intake all the time so unless MOT is doing the 'tail pipe sniff test' AS YOU DRIVE you can do the modification after the inspection and remove it when you know it's inspection time. BUT either way, remember cleaning the intake with a blow torch is bad for aluminum.

@DrMotorDude Ahhright. I live in the UK. Vehicles are subject to a nationwide standard MOT (Mandatory Ofstead Inspection) They stick an analyser up the exhaust and check the gasses that way! Not a case of doing it neatly over here!

[DrMotorDude]

@stuntcrazy8 If you do it neatly enough they'll never know unless they actually open it up or take off the EGR as part of the inspection. I live in a mandatory emissions inspection state and they don't know - BTW I've learned to be good at NOT talking when need be...

[stuntcrazy8]

@DrMotorDude ahh wish it was this simple in the UK. Do this, then MOT comes along and it fails on emissions! -.-

$5 hot tank job at a machine shop, that's the right way to do it.
