As per the 'lacking in low down grunt' thread, I figured I'd create a thread dedicated to EGR blanking where people can get information and ask any questions..
I've had my EGR blank in for 5,000km now without a single CEL - No drilling holes in anything or messing about. Unbolt the heat shield, Unbolt the EGR pipe. slip the blanking plate in between the manifold and the gasket, some high temp sealant on the other side and bolt it back up.
From the extensive reading from the near-70 page thread on the New Triton forum (Found *here* some people get CEL's, some dont. There are numerous ways to fix and prevent getting them - So far touch wood I haven't had one.
I was done in less than 10 minutes and the results are dramatic.
It's now making 12psi by 1600rpm and 20psi by 2000rpm, It now pulls harder than a 15 year old and I find myself taking off in second with ease.
I only wish I'd done it sooner!
I have done some data logging with the EGR in place (I wish I'd done it beforehand for a comparison. I may look at removing if I get some time and trying to replicate the results) using an OBD-II Bluetooth reader and Torque for Android.
The first is a plot of Turbo Boost (Y Axis) v Revs (X Axis) up to 2000rpm:
As you can see:
1400rpm 6psi
1500rpm 8psi
1600rpm 12psi
1700rpm 15psi
1800rpm 17psi
2000rpm 20psi
The only engine 'modification' is an EGR blank - Factory air filter, no snorkel, factory dump pipe and exhaust. No chip or sprintbooster.
I should also note I have not had the latest update that is said to have helped with low down lag, The last time my Challenger was at a dealer was in July 2012.
All readings were done from a standing start, taking off in 2nd (manual) without riding or dumping the clutch.
Once off the clutch, foot flat to the floor at about 1100rpm.
