I'm interested to know how many have plated the EGR ?

I have blocked mine as well and got a catch can. Have not noticed an gains in performance or economy after driving 10000kms. Have taken it out. Will refit when I get full exhaust and tune.
I feel like you're missing the point in fitting the plate! The idea is to block any soot entering your engine, making your engine run better and cleaner. Will prevent your intake manifold from clogging up.
Any performance gains a merely a positive side effect....

what's the purpose for refitting it after a tune and exhaust.
the reason for installing it the first place stays the same?
The reason for installing it in the first place was I didn't know much about it and started listening to everyone on forums who says to do it. I then done proper research and not biased opinions from people that are selling them and realised is there for more reasons than most people think. So
the only reason is enviromental. before i blank mine i was afraid that blanking the egr will cause trouble to the engine tune in case the ECU was meant to open the egr and reduce diesel as well into the mixture as well. when i researched a bit and saw the fuel pump and quantity of diesel added doesnt even communicate with egr or any of that crap i went ahead a blanked it. 2 years now and i have good and clean manifold. when you say researched you mean googled it? 9/10 articles there are load of garbage and mostly meant for petrol naturally aspirated cars (which egr probably is bad idea to blank yes)
Yes I know it's a never ending debate and most people have already made up there minds. But 9/10 articles are for deleting or blanking it and are mostly from people that sell aftermarket parts. So it's hard to just google as you say to find a true answer. It will affect the engine tune under certain driving conditions. It will affect the engine temperatures as well. It will affect the amount of Deisel as when there is NOx introduced into the intake instead of oxygen the Deisel should be reduce as well. Other wise your mixtures will be out. Maybe the the engine management system adapts when the blank is put it there as it realises there is no NOx entering the intake and only oxygen.
