This is just what i thought however i have a so called" peugeot top tech who i believe performed the egr delete " telling me otherwise.

I have now removed the blanking plate and it runs like sh** . Heavy smelly smoke and irregular revs at idle and late power under throttle. Also power fluttering while driving/cruising along.

If anyone disagrees with me and Tony and i please let me know. I feel that saying "you can shear a sheep many times but you will only fleece it one time"

I feel a bit better knowing that i am most likely thinking logical.
