Ok let me splane this to you as noted previously the EGR blocker plate dose not completely shut down the flow of spent dirty exhaust it reduces it. There is enough flow through the 3/8 inch hole to keep the ECM happy and not set a fault code.With a egr blocker arent you experiencing higher engine temperature like hotter catylitic converter hotter combustion chamber ect increased emissions. By blocking the egr theres nothing to control the temperature of the cat and it should be a constant temperature not just really hot all the time by doing that your replacing one pollutant like hydrocarbons with increased levels of other pollutants and a shorter engine and catylitic converter lifespan.
What did you order?Well long story short, my tune I ordered off line didn't work. So, I took it to a local diesel guy that I was referred to from a coworker, and had a dispute over parts and costs, so he told me he would no longer work on my vehicle. I'm probably going to abandon my delete effort and trade my Equinox. If you don't have any tuning knowledge or have a buddy that can do it, the diesel engine is finished in my book. It's just not worth the hassle. And it has been a HUGE hassle.
I didn't order anything, I just asked for a delete. Which the guy obliged.What did you order?
What?! No way. Show me the link. I bought mine a few months ago for $750.You may want to come down on that. I paid 600 for the kit last week
The first one I made (bottom used) wasnt the most beautiful piece but I ran it as a test with zero issue after 2k miles. I made another one today with a much smaller oriface and hope that I get zero CEL's. Oil is significantly cleaner and I hop the smaller oriface along with another oil change will help out that much more.
Hello, I read through this thread and like the idea of the EGR restrictor plate. We have a 2019 Equinox Diesel with about 12K miles. Could you be so kind as to post a picture of the location on the plumbing where you installed the plate. I would like to fab one up with a 3/8" hole and be another test case.The first one I made (bottom used) wasnt the most beautiful piece but I ran it as a test with zero issue after 2k miles.

Jim Sorry it took so long to get back to you I bought the gasket for the EGR cooler and used that for the template to make my restrictor Here is a link to the part : EGR System for 2018 GMC Terrain | GM Wholesale DirectHello, I read through this thread and like the idea of the EGR restrictor plate.
