Hi, after reading all the wonderful things you can do to a TD V6 (2007) I am confused as to in what order. From EGR blanking to De-cat pipe, Re Map, could some one please advise me the best place to start my improvements. I know all these things help but do I blank the EGR valves with a remap to sort out the EM light first, or fit a De cat pipe ?? I am confused but would like to start at the beginning , please advise, thanks in advance  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

Decat first, so the engine parameters have time to adapt to the new setup, so the remap makes the most of it

Cheers Mikey for the quick reply, just need pointing in the right direction. Just to ask will a De cat bring the EML on ?  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

No, no electronics involved with the cat. Only potential issue is the MOT.

Yep, it's diesels too now. You can get one with a dummy cat which would solve the issue, but there's a good chance it wouldn't be noticed with a straight pipe anyway.

I'll be finding out soon... They can't remove anything, so if it's noticed, I'll just hide it with a heat shield or similar.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

If you de-cat after the re-map, will you not get the full potential?

I've previously blanked the EGR'S, Terracleaned, Re-mapped.

Pete Bell said the de-cat makes no difference to the map when I asked. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

That's good news.

Did I read that there can be issues removing the de-cat? Something about a set of bolts that have a likelihood to shear/snap? 2006 HSE for Sale - £7,499 (Manchester)

Thanks again, interesting that one  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

The manifold nuts can be stuck, and if the studs snap, it's turbo out. Make sure whoever fits it has done them before and/or has a good feel for such things.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Best few pence you can spend, Get a BAS (Pete Bell) remap with EGR software patch included, I had this on my last Sport

As for decat, they can whistle I had one on a Disco TD5, complete waste of time, and it whistled

Thanks for all the replys folks, looking like a call to Pete Bell is on the cards. Does anyone know if Bell Autos does supply a De cat pipe ??  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!
