Greetings from Bulgaria
Today I closed the EGR and the car waked up. Nothing happens no errors neither switch to recovery mode. EGR is not connected with computed on this engine and can be closed without problems as for the fuel consumption it remains the same.
11-13lt/100km urban drive
7-8lt/100km highway drive.
Regards
can i ask ( as a newbie ) how did you close the egr?

I just recently bought an IS220D a few months ago and couldn't wait to add a few modifications to it. First thing I bought was a tuning box from TDi Tuning, they thought they could only alter the fuel injection on the IS until the looked under the bonnet, turns out there was a connection to the turbo too.... bonus. They claim it would have approx 220BHP and 470NM torque. As soon as it was installed and I took it for a test drive with them, the difference put a huge smile on my face. Slightly less turbo lag under 2 revs, but the torque is amazing mid range.
Although it's not a modification, I seen so many posts about the EGR, so I had that taken off and cleaned. It was pretty packed up with carbon, the car had only done 65,000 miles.
Then I bought H&R lowering springs, they said 35mm drop, seems like more to me but I didn't measure. After installment, the ride is a little firmer, I can fell speed bumps and pot holes more than I did before. But far less roll going around the corners and the car looks far better.
And recently had my windows tinted, not fully dark, I don't want it to look to much aftermarket, I also had the front windows tinted to a just legal shade.
I am looking at alloy wheels next, most likely 18 inch lexus wheels. Currently have really ugly 16 inch lexus wheels. Previous owner sprayed black.
What do you have?
Hi there, does your tuning chip connect straight to the turbo only or does it connect in 2 places...im a little confused.
Over running pulley

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if it's possible to fit an over running pulley on a 220d (09) ? I used to have a 2.0d x type and fitting a o.r.p really helped out with the diesel engine noise and although the lexus doesn't sound as bad as the jag, it would still be nice to be able to quieten her down a bit more.
