EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, which is a system in modern diesel engines designed to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). When the EGR system is working, a small portion of exhaust gas is redirected back into the engine to mix with the incoming air/fuel mixture, which reduces the combustion temperature and lowers NOx emissions.
Here at Tuning Emporium we seen a significant increase of EGR systems failing on customers vehicles.

Blanking the EGR system involves blocking off or disabling the flow of exhaust gas back into the engine’s intake system. While some people believe that blanking the EGR system can provide benefits, such as increased performance and fuel efficiency.
Here are some of the commonly cited benefits of EGR blanking:
- Increased power and torque: By reducing the amount of exhaust gas that is recirculated back into the engine, blanking the EGR system can potentially increase the engine’s power and torque output. This is because the engine is able to draw in more fresh air, which can lead to better combustion and more power.
- Improved fuel economy: Some people claim that blanking the EGR system can lead to improved fuel economy. This is because the engine is able to operate more efficiently when there is less exhaust gas being recirculated back into the intake system.
- Reduced maintenance costs: EGR systems can sometimes cause problems such as clogging, which can lead to expensive repairs. By blanking the EGR system, these potential issues can be avoided.

The cost of replacement of some EGR systems now, especially since COVID, have increased dramatically. Another reason to consider blanking off the EGR system on your vehicle too.
Whether you’re looking for increased horsepower, improved fuel efficiency, or a more responsive driving experience, tuning can help achieve your desired results.
