Hi,
I have decided that it's the high time to get rid of the EGR in my 2007 Puma. I have disconnected the plug from the EGR valve - errors in ECU but no MIL light. Acceptable for now. After I will try to reprogram the ECU. About the physical removal - I would like to remove this piece of junk completely - the EGR valve and the EGR cooler (it's just occupying space and making access to for example the starter motor worse). I have the blanking plates both for the EGR cooler (3) and the EGR valve (4) but, as I said, I would like to remove it entirely and now the problem of the metal tube (1) with the MAP sensor appears.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Can I buy a blanked tube with the sensor port? I have found some on eBay but without a hole for MAP. Or do I need to cut the original and close it somehow? Also a bypass tube to remove the cooler is necessary. Is there any complete "removal kit"?

Thank You.
The cutting and welding is what I wanted to avoid... Bergos LR Defender 110 HT 2007 (2.4 Puma) https://www.facebook.com/LR.Wanderlust/ |

Let us know how it all works out and what exactly to do if it does work. Looking to ditch my EGR as well as it's causing more problems than it's worth.
Any drawbacks to this though even if it works? |

Cannot see any. Just the MOT thing, which in my case is not a case
I've removed the EGR 8 years ago in my D2 Td5. No problems and measured emissions are below spec. I can see only positives, especially after seeing my intake manifold: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Bergos LR Defender 110 HT 2007 (2.4 Puma) https://www.facebook.com/LR.Wanderlust/ |

Yes
EGR-Valve-Round-Cooler-End-Type-Blanking-K...4-3-2-TDCi Plus a custom made blanking plate for the inlet side. It's a half-measure as you stay with the blanked, hanging pipe going to the inlet manifold. Removing the whole EGR cooler and valve took me around 2 hours, on the street in Portuguese sun. 
I needed to seal the blanking plates with heat resistant silicone, because they were whistling while driving. Also... I needed to reprogram the ECU not to lit the Check Engine light after 3 starts. And that was the expensive part... Bergos LR Defender 110 HT 2007 (2.4 Puma) https://www.facebook.com/LR.Wanderlust/ |
