I would concur...(e.g. Fix, not blank)

I was expecting to get my 88 with a gunked up EGR and was more than willing to spend a day and the $30 for a pail of "Gunk" brand degreaser to clean it up.. Just to find out the 88 never had an EGR..

A blanking plate sound just a bit to "snake oil" for me.. There are probably 2nd and 3rd order effects that blanking plates introduce that the UK crowd do not pass on.. Or even realise.. Remember they live within 20Km of everyting.. We typicaly have to drive 20Km to the just the Beer store..

Heck those guys in the UK barely see less than 0C and rarely hit 30C in summer (Well ok they did get some heat this year :-) ) For us guys trying to hit 200,000 or 300,000K KM north of the 39th parallel it is best to not play with the motors base design.
