Not really, it's a preventative modification. It stops the crap being put back into the inlet manifold, and stops the EGR from breaking, as you remove it from the car.

hello and welcome
the egr valves are known for failing and when working they put soot from the exhaust back into the inlet manifold
the design is to help with fuel efficiency but theres no real performace loss or gain from removing it more of a case where you dont have to keep cleaning the inlet out

@Matt beat me to it

we sell quite a few of these, and only have problems with faulty parts on a very few of them, which we rectify by sending a new cheater out.

You can get them from the shop on here: https://z22se.co.uk/shop
