Forge T5 EGR delete

This new EGR replacement pipe from Forge is a direct fit replacement for the 2.5 TDI 5 cylinder engine found in: VW Transporter with engine code BNZ (130bhp) and BPC (174bhp) VW Touareg with engine code BPD (163bhp) and BPE (174bhp) VW Crafter with engine codes BJJ (88bhp), BJK (109bhp),BJL (136bhp) and BJM (164bhp).

Over time the standard EGR becomes choked with a carbon and oil mix which massively reduces the efficiency of the engine and ultimately can cause the EGR assembly to fail which is a costly part to replace from Volkswagen. The Forge replacement doesn’t allow exhaust gases back into the intake so immediately removes the carbon build up, whilst at the same time allowing no pre-heated air into the engine so it helps performance on two levels. As a result, owners may well see an improvement in fuel consumption, too!

The pipe itself is made from a single piece billet (no welds) and comes complete with a new O-ring seal, as well a blanking plate with gasket, for complete removal of the exhaust recirculation pipe from the engine bay.

An important fitting note is that removal of the vehicles EGR valve will result in a check engine light, and depending on model the glow plug light may flash. This does not adversely harm or effect the way in which the vehicle drives at all. This can be mapped out by most remapping companies.
