you don't need the EGR delete pipe; you can tap into the existing pipework.

However you need to make sure this is done tidily otherwise you'll just vent precious boost from the hole you've just made!

easier if you have a egr delete as its got the take off pipe to connect a boost gauge other wise you have to tap a hole in the plastic intercooler pipe

Here

Is yours the 115bhp though?? Might be worth dropping them an email to make sure it will fit.

Fairly sure the EGR is the same  :undecided:
