So, i have this howling sound when I get over 10psi of boost now. it's definitely related to the turbo RPM, because they both increase and decrease together. maybe i have some turbulence in my intake? or maybe one of my gaskets on the turbo block off plate isn't sealing?

it does cool down to 3 blocs fairly fast. but 4 blobs concerns me because i can;t see if 5 is coming or not. Also a 1/2 inch OD fitting is too small for the egr cooler lines, it does the trick but completely depends on the hose clamps to keep it from leaking. I'm going to toss this one away and go with the next size up. just for anyone that is looking.

I've got one. but i was wondering if anyone thought of installing a small cooler in this loop instead of just sending it back? On my highway trips i get up to 4 blobs on the temperature on the big hills, seems like the system could do with a bit more cooling capacity.. I imagine an oil cooler would work fairly well to pull some extra heat out of the water. run the lines down in front of the engine so the air can get to it. thoughts?

I got the egr and egr pipe off, cut off a flange from the egr pipe and used it to clamp down the block off plate that came with the egr sim. installed the canadian tire pipe after cutting it down and it fits like a charm. used my welder to put a bead on the pipe. If you remove the waste gate acutator the egr pipe bolts at the turbo become quite accessable with an allen key. just use pliers on the key to break the bolts loose. Mine were practically finger tight, weird. Just need to get a 90 degree fitting for the coolant pipes and then i can cut out the egr pipe, it;s just hovering in the engine bay right now till i can get the right piece. Does anyone know off hand what size the coolant hoses are for the egr pipe?

seems easy enough, I have seen that it's easy enough to reach with the TIK pipe and waste gate acutators removed. I`ll probably do this when i pull my EGR, and clean my intake/intercooler.

So there is no affiliation? I assumed that it was approved by the club because it uses the logo and links to the forum.

Got it all wired up and blocked off the egr feed, turbo now spools at idle! and there is much less smoke under WOT. i have yet to see fuel milage increase but i just filled up so i'll know in a week or so. Does anyone know if the egr feed tube can be removed completely? i know it goes to the egr, but it also goes somewhere up front of the engine, where does that go?

awesome, thanks so much.

thank you very much! is the egr plug marked so i can tell which is pin 1?

hey guys, i got the ebay EGR unit from poland but it did not come with instructions for installation, what wires go to what wires? I cant install it unless i know, does anyone have a picture of the wires going into the plug? or can you take a picture of your install instructions?

Hate to ressurect this, but it seems someone else by the name of Kristian had a club smart car page, he recently sold his smart, and i was selected to be the new admin. https://www.facebook.com/clubsmartcar/info

Sounds like over boost to me. Waste gate is probably stuck or the actuator itself might have a leak.

ordered one! 70 bucks though better than paying the shop 250 to put it in though for sure.

So i can just buy a lower ball joint and install it to replace my worn tie rod ball?

I would like to know where this is as well.
