2018 TD emissions delete

Hey guys, couldn't find a decent thread about this so I figured I would start one. I've got my 18 TD terrain in the shop getting tuned to shut off EGR, Adblue, and all other emissions related equipment. It is getting a straight pipe from the turbo to resonator. I will post an update and some pictures when I get the car back next week.

A little back story that led to this. My car has 25,000km on it. And in this time it has had 3 egr valve replacements and a DPF filter replacement. Leaving wife stranded twice. So it's time for that stuff to go.

If there's been a thread about a FULL delete please share the link!

UPDATE: First road trip since full emissions delete. Car was loaded with bags and kids. I believe it works out to 50.4 mpg (imp). No issues, no CEL. Cars running awsome!
!00% need to know where I can get this done! Thanks for the DM in advance
This thread is about a full delete. I just haven't got to fabbing plates to remove every. EGR is shut off, DEF is shut off, and Injector deleted. And DPF is deleted. My car is straight piped from the turbo back to the factory muffler/resonator
Can you send me a PM as well with the shop info as well as what I need to do to it? Hopefully it's not too far from me. I have a 2018 terrain and its had the same emissions issues repeat over the last 50,000km. First diesel I've had.
Thanks!

Hey having issues with my equinox td. Canada as well. I can't message on here as I'm new. Desperately need a shop to delete it
Yep I did! Check the convo
Hey goochy could you PM me the details on this? Looking to have it done as well. Thank You!
I’d be interested in how to get a delete tune and more information

thanks
Pm'd you!
Hi Goochy, could you PM me details too please. Just finished cleaning my throttle body and the EGR at 140,000km. Don't want to do it again.

UPDATE: got the car back, all is good and running! The exhaust shop did a great job. All said and done with tunes and exhaust I was around $1500. Took some time and tweaks as full emissions delete hasn't been done on one of these that I could find. Factory resonator remained in place. Sound increase is very minimal. Mostly just a turbo whistle you cnlan hear now. Smoke is very minimal. It seems I can only get it to puff by stomping on it from a dead idle (before the turbo has a chance to spool). I'll post some mpgs later after the wife goes on a road trip in a couple weeks
Can you tell me some info where to get this kit?

It's actually not a kit. You'll need a find a diesel tuner in your area, have his contact CCS out of Edmonton. He will have to download your ecu file and send it to him so he can send you a tuned file. Then you have to take the car to an exhaust shop to make you a custom exhaust. There is no specific kit for these cars. Everything is 1 off

Hey man if you could tell me this was a shop in BC I would be more than happy to give them some business! All about that fuel mileage! 👿
Goochy,
Wondering if you can point in the direction of the shop that did it for you? I have an 18 I’d like to do it do. Tried to PM you but if wouldn’t let me.

That's weird, I got it done at a shop in alberta. But if you have a shop near you that does EFI live diesel tuning, they should be able to contact CCS in edmonton to get the tune file. Then you just need a exhaust shop to do some cut and chop for ya!
I love mine and it runs a little better than it did. My son drove back from Dallas around 75mph and we got 49mpg. It was awesome!!!!! Goochy, thank you for the help if I did not thank you.

Right on. That's deadly. How did the exhaust turn out? Any pictures?
I have a 2018 Equinox diesel and am curious as well.
Just curious on how it has been working. I have an 18 TD terrain as well and I wanted to delete as well. Can you on me what shop you used? Thanks
Following this thread, I just purchased an 18 Terrain with the 1.6L TD like the idea of the fuel mileage but not sure about the DPF and emission systems. please let us know how your project goes. 51K miles runs great so far.... only time will tell
Please pm me the name and number of your contact?
There’s a guy on Facebook group that can delete them.
