Hi,
I have a bmw e53 x5 diesel turbo automatic.

My question is, if i place a blanking plate on the exhaust manifold and remove the EGR pipe that goes to the EGR Valve.



1) Do i need to replace the EGR valve with a delete kit or can i blank where the exhaust gas entered the valve?


2) The vacuum pipe that goes to the EGR Valve, do i leave that plugged in or do i remove the pipe and block it with something?


3)Do i leave the EGR presure converter intact or if i unplug it will it show an error code?


Thank you for yoour help.
