thanks, thats the summary and my conclusion at the end...
it is remmaped for DpF off and regeneration off and all proccess that are related to the DPF...
but looks it needs to be remapped to compensate...as Jim said as well:

"the rest of the mapping expects it to be there. There is now less back pressure in the exhaust, which means that something like more airflow/less manifold pressure/less EGR etc is triggering a de-rating to either protect the engine, or the mapping is compensating as it thinks there is less power required."

I think thats the thing, tough I would like to hear from Vantuner opinion as well :roll:

Edit: If the DPF removal is done properly no mot station will spot it. They would only know if they physically remove the complete DPF and inspect the top of it.


Fine....If you're in Britain & when you take your machine for MOT and they perchance plug it in to check for EGR and DPF function....What will you say then??

Here's an extract from the DVSA:

Garages and testing stations have had to check for a diesel particulate filter while inspecting the exhaust system as part of the MOT test since February 2014. The filter has been in use for more than 20 years and helps meet European emissions standards, improving air quality and health.

Some firms offer services to remove the filter, claiming it will improve the vehicle’s performance, or is cheaper than replacing the current DPF. However, it is an offence to drive a vehicle that has been modified that way, as it will no longer meet the emissions standards the car achieved when it was approved for sale in the UK.

We’ll withdraw the right to provide MOTs and even prosecute garages who fail to meet the required standards, including those who pose a risk to air quality by removing DPFs or installing other emissions ‘‘cheat’’ devices.’

For drivers, the potential penalties for driving a vehicle without a diesel particulate filter are fines of up to £1,000 for a car or £2,500 for a light goods vehicle.

No one is arguing that it's not an offence to remove.

My point is unless your dumb enough to tell them you've removed it how will they know? After all you will not physically see any difference.

The same way as they’ll know if you’ve had a remap, it’s not difficult. All the info is online if you’re interested enough to look for it.

Mike I've read all the posts. I'm obviously missing your point.

But then I really don't give a sh*t. I'm not the original poster.....

You certainly are missing my point, you may have read all the posts but you’re not realising which bit relates directly to you :lol: But you don’t give a sh*t so carry on in your ignorant bliss :mrgreen:
