Use the search Tab!!
Yes - no more soot out the exhaust. Yes it is good for your engine as exhaust gases are no longer going into the engine and clogging up the inlet system with sludge.

I have had the pipes blanked and the EGR delete on the ECU. For some reason (and I dont know why or how) I was told that the car will take longer to reach operating temp so not to give it the boot until warmed up. I never really looked at the temp gauge before I did the delete so I am unsure if it is taking longer. But I do take it more carefully. My car had done +100,000kms before the blank and delete and despite the fact I generally do 1one trip of +100km every week there was soot build up. At the same time I also did a remap and the power off the line is quite noticable.

Dmax as per profile ?
If so, I don't know of any (good) electronic EGR mapper.
While you can usually blank plate with hole in the plate (usually about 10mm), the EGR openings are normally quite small anyway, and 10mm take up about a third of that area (my PK Ranger).
I was lucky and got onto a fantastic electronic option, but you might have to go the ECU route to fix yours 100%.
Google Dmax EGR blank plate mod, you should get hits on various forum posts, ebay for plates, should be able to see if plates are sold with holes in them for EGR flow.
I supposed a holed blank plate stops MOST (?) of the gases, so might be a cheaper part fix for you.
^^ Yes, touching the emissions controls is illegal.
My way of thinking was after some years of garbage in the intake, the reverse emission issues of pollution might be probable with poor running.
Are you getting lots of soot (particulates) from your exhaust ?
You shouldn't, it's not a Navara !
There could be less soot from the exhaust really, but more N2O, which is why they put some exhaust back into the intake to lower oxygen combination in gases / burn temp.

Never heard of an EGR filter . . . or did you mean an oil catch can ?
That's also worth getting fitted, just to keep that oil mist from condensing through the intake system, including your intercooler.
Also good to do if you don't go down the EGR delete route, as keeping the oil mist out of the intake = the particulates from the EGR don't mix with it and turn into a tar, building up over a period of years to partially (or sometimes nearly fully) clog up the intake manifold.
