Fit it with a new gasket and bolt the EGR valve onto the back of it with it still plugged in

Blanked mine off. Passed MOT no problem with it blanked. EML stays on if you remove and unplug the EGR completely but this doesnt effect the MOT, well atleast it didnt in my case anyway.

Fuck taking off the egr valve and putting it back on for the test every year.

It's a fud to get at.

I've removed it on several corsas now, always seemed better.

I usually just make blanking plate myself though.

If your handy with a welder, get a spare erg and cut the cylider off the top, then weld up the holes.
