You can remove it completely along with the EGR valve but you will need to fabricate or buy the (overly expensive) Forge blanking cap

It is expensive for what it does, but lets be honest so are most 'mods'

make sure you use the right resistors

Has anyone got the dimensions to make a blanking plate ?

I want to do this but Ideally have the plate made ready to swap over to save time.

It's not quite as simple as that is it? I thought the forge one had a recess and o-ring to ensure it seals properly?

Can't remember perfectly but I think I cut it out and used a sealant.
