Hiya, not sure about the EGR blanking, but PMW were great for the swirl flap blanking kit.

you can blank the egr valve or there are a number of egr kits, I brought mine off ebay £40 in stainless steel and very well made and a direct fit, here's my egr

I changed the swirl flaps for some low mileage ones at the same time using tiger seal or a good silicone sealant, this was 18 months ago with no leaks up to now so problem solved, just my opinion but I'm not a fan of blanks as the swirl flaps are there and developed for a reason, I've never heard of any failures with the later cartridge type but everyone to their own.

As much as I respect the opinions of other but I would hate to say that all swirl flaps are prone to fail.
Mine were later catridge type and I am glad that I changed them.
And in all honesty, I saw gain on higher revs!
And car felt smoother.
I would recommend to change swirl flaps as why risking your engine?

I also haven't blanked off my swirl flaps

Im also of the opinion that they were developed for a reason

Same with the egr, i have retained it but methodically clean it out

Its a 320d (mine) not an f1 car

I had mine blanked and very glad I don't have to worry. Yes they were developed for a reason but there must also be a reason that they don't use them anymore. An experiment gone wrong in my eyes!!

I dont know of any problems due to removing them both only benefits. Even tho i must have the latest type of swirl flaps i still feel on edge with them in lol. And i still cant find a kit specifically for my car on ebay :s
