Also, HIGHLY recommend installing a cheap 12v fuel pump inline right before the fuel filter, and wiring it up with a switch on the dash. Make sure you get one that allows passive flow through it when the pump is off. I did that a few years ago, and it makes re-priming a breeze anytime you need it. $20 on amazon type of thing. Switch on when you need prime, it'll flood the filter and push through the lines up to the LPFP, and once you get it started, turn it off, and the LPFP will continue to suck from the tank (through the aux pump) like it was stock
@chrisjones5382 I was thinking about that after this one. I got stuck at a gas station and carry my vacuum pump in the van. I also wonder if I can just take the pump out of my '06 before it gets scrapped and convert it. I'll have to look into if it's just relays or if the CAN bus will get mad.
Where'd you get your EGR block off plate? My OM612 is EGR deleted at the ECU level and I'd like to swap to the 647 intake for better glow plug access, so ideally I'd need one of those too
That is just the metal half of the EGR valve. I cut a disk for the bottom and welded it shut, then welded the hole for the shaft at the top. Of course I only ever install this for pressure testing the charge pipes if I suspect an EGR is leaking ;)

Well done. Hard to believe getting the intake off a T1N could be such a ass. I may invest in a engine hoist for mine. Thanks for the clip. 🙂
@SlimTortoise I think engine out would be the most sensible way to do this job. If I had sawed it in half from the start that would be faster.

@@smsauce appreciate the info. For testing / off road purposes only, of course 😉
