More turbo surge on certain moments, as the EGR is used to dump the intake pressure too.

I fitted one to my 2008 Td4 - it made no difference so I removed it.

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e HSE Manual Zermatt Silver

Fitted plate to 2010 FL2 2.2 TD with 170k on the clock. No immediate difference. Been in place for 15k and no adverse side effects. I just hope that the systems has had time to clear out all that crap from the induction system.

Had an MOT and it passed the emissions test (readings to low to register).
