Can we not just modify our cars within the law? The rules on DPFs are there for a very good reason.

Yeah I’d agree. I found it surprising how many tuners offered this as a fairly basic thing, like an everyday upgrade. I was fairly sure that they had to sell it as a not-for-public-roads upgrade.

I have had remapping, dpf removed! Replace with a false dpf,,Muffler removed full tint ( I have my mot tomorrow so let’s see if they can spot it ( I got the front tints taken off to day will replace them next weekend

The new rules dont come in until 20th May so your DPF mod will likely get through this time but not next time.

We don’t really know how it’s going to work yet. There was a thread a while ago on the new mot handbook, which as I recall said something like “no visible smoke which could obscure other drivers’ vision” or something. And the section about the dpf included a visual inspection, I vaguely recall something like if it looks like it’s been taken out and put back they did something.

You’re not going to see as much improvement from the dpf as you will from the remap itself. In terms of hp for £, it won’t be close.

You’ll still get a monster with a remapped s5, but considering it’s almost twice the price, I’d say it’s harder to justify. Unless the dpf is clogged up, in which case it would make more difference.

Also (FYI - not an expert on this) I think it depends how they do the dpf delete. If they simply remove it completely - I believe that’s supposed to be an MOT fail. If it’s still there visually but essentially hollowed out, you should get away with it. I’d personally be hesitant to do a dpf delete in case MOT procedure changed in the nearish future, making it more definitively a failure and being caught out, or having to put it back. But then a lot of people on here seem to have done it without issue.

Hope that’s helps?

Who is doing the dyno remap for you out of interest?
