Good afternoon,

I recently deleted the EGR and DPF, both physically and electronically/remap (ECU), but I asked the mechanic/tuner not to change the injection values, turbo pressure, etc., so as not to compromise the reliability of the engine/clutch/etc. After the EGR and DPF were removed, the car (N22B1) now has better response and I measured 360Nm of torque and 155hp on dyno (print: https://freeimage.host/i/KGRGS2f).

However, I have been reading about EGR delete and came across information saying that it may cause thermal stress in the combustion chamber. On the other hand, I also read that disabling the EGR is more problematic in petrol engines and not so much in diesel engines. Do you think I shouldn’t have deleted the EGR?

Thanks.
