ok ive read in the howto about removing (well blocking up really) the EGR valve on ecotec engines (mines a 1.8 x18xe1), but what advantages will this bring to my car??

ive read about improved MPG is this true??

improved power, which would make sense but is this true aswell??

smoother running??

and a quieter engine??!!

also is there anything ive not mentioned that will improve also!!

i would carry out this mod to mine, but i need to justify doing it by having a good reason too!!

also is this procedure going to have any "adverse" effect on my engine or emissions for the mot??


your help will be greatly appreciated!!!
