EGR Delete

What's everyone's consensus on having the EGR deleted on the 1KD?
Seems that it can only be beneficial but would like to get opinions. Looking at having the ECU remapped to turn it off. Who has had it done, how much and do you see any improvements?

I got mine done by a guy south of Perth, can't remember the name of the place but it was an exhaust place. Took about an hour.

what area are you in mate?
i've got a 120 & a 150 both done goes well, but i know the person and they did the tune to suit my driving & towing not just flash someones tune and there you go
no issues the 150 runs in to the 8L/100 on good runs, and has plenty of poke when required and tows well with our 2.4T van

Thought I had better post an update on the above. I had the EGR deleted by Diesel Toys Australia and am firstly very impressed with their service and communication. Turnaround time was fast and efficient.
First impressions from the ‘butt dyno’ are good. There is definitely an improvement with having the EGR deleted. Vehicle seems to pick up quicker and boost is more linear. Now I’m thinking I should have gone for one of their power tune packages but very happy with initial results.
For anyone else considering this here is a rundown on what I was quoted;
EGR delete only - $275
Stage 1,2 or 3 tune - $385
EGR delete and Stage tune - $550
I definitely recommend this upgrade and props to Diesel Toys Australia for their service.
