Hi)))
I’ve had experience with both options. EGR delete can improve throttle response and reduce soot buildup, but keep in mind it’s not always legal depending on your region and can cause issues with inspections.
As for repair kits, I’ve used ones from Klifex https://klifex.net/collections/egr-removal-kits — pretty solid quality. If the valve isn’t too worn, a good kit can extend its life for quite a while and is definitely more cost-effective than full replacement.
Overall, if you want a safer and more compliant solution, I’d go with a repair kit.
