If only you had a 2007MY, I'd suggest fitting EGR blanking plates That causes quite a collection.
Other than that, you could jetwash behind the battery? Maybe Not!
Could you just remove the temperature thermistor from the air intake top and front of the engine? Wouldn't this let enough air in to make the Air mass sensor to report too low a flow for the RPM? Only problem is that I'm guessing that would be enough, though loosening the jubilee on the intake hose should do it? I can't imagine this would harm the engine as spilt turbo hoses are not uncommon.Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

I can record the air mass flow no problem ..so may be worth a try G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

How does fitting the plates cause fault codes? If the valves are faulty then fair enough, but the engine doesn't know and can't sense if the blanks are fitted or not. It will only register a fault if the valve doesn't move as demanded by the ECM - caused by any number of problems with the valve itself, not the fact that a blank is fitted. There's no sensing of EGR gas flow, just valve position.
Warranty issues on a 2007 is another thing of course Previously:
