I've read several threads on the EGR blanking.
Do you need to blank both ends? and why?

When I was into Land Rovers, we only blanked one end with no issues - the other end was welded !

So you blanked the other end by welding it?
I don't think it's imperative you blank both ends, the russians use a 2 rouble coin, but someone tried a simimlar trick with a different coin in the uk which ended up with the engine being stripped to pull all the bits of coin out as I remember
I removed mine entirely, a forum member Nick Skidmore was making up stainless plugs to blank off the turbo outlet along with blanking plates (think he stopped doing them a while ago). I think some have done similar by welding up the outlet pipe from the turbo & removing the rest of the gubbins.
There's a fact sheet in the members area too http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... ts/EGR.pdf

Got mine from Allan's

Well made and easy to do, usual fiddly rules apply!

Do you need to blank both ends? and why?

If you're blanking to stop the EGR working, you just blank 1 end.

If you want to problems from a split pipe (they are known to split on the weld), blank both ends.

Blanking both ends at once saves having to do it later.

Probably another dumb question;-

Why would you want to prevent EGR from working?

Wouldn't you want to fix if it's broken?

Have a read of the factsheet, see if that helps
