Gents,
I've been looking into this for a while, Like Chapel gate my EGR has been disconnected for ages, but I'm ready to delete all the unnecessary solenoids and vacuum pipes. I did place a post on the 80 forum but didn't get much response.
I have found a really useful Russian website which gives the full details of what needs to be removed and what needs to be kept, you'll need to use google translate (unless you can speak Russian, of course!) so it can be a bit hard to follow. I'll post the links below.

This second link details the development of the 1HD-FT and how it ended up strangled with emissions control equipment, it was never originally designed to be like this. Very interesting reading.

Cheers for that, I'm concerned the new MOT and rules regarding warning lights may pose a problem if the the tester is being a bit strict. I've got the gist of it I think and I need to cut the two wires shown in the two plugs and the heater warning goes off. Has anyone tried this ?
