The diesel gas in the USA is crap, probably why are EGR everything gets CBU so bad. Still an awesome car.

Leaks on my swirl flaps caused my car to drop power because a leaking boost, mine were in a slightly better condition than the ops.

I gained back circa 20 bhp.

Hey mate, great post and good job! I have just done the same process of stripping my manifold out, due to oil leak which i also found to be the flaps.
So after cleaning to manifold, literally till it looks like brand new, i then blanked off all the flaps, exactly the same as you, replacing all the seals at the same time.

The only thing which i never done, which i regret is not blanking off the EGR valve!
Whilst doing thr manifold, i had already taken the egr off, an also gave it a clean, even though it was pretty much clean already.

Would you recommend me to go back to step 1 an blank it off?

If the EGR is blanked off, wont that cause problems with the DPF regeneration?

I want rid of mine (and the EGR thermostat is fkd too) but wasnt wanting to remove it as i didnt want to ruin the DPF.
