Does anybody know if this has been done or if it can be done? If so can anyone recommend a garage in the Birmingham area?

DPF removal is soon to be part of an mot check from next year unless you can get an mot that will pass it I wouldn't recommend it

carbon is recycled and sent back through the turbo etc and this is not good for performance
the EGR may be a great idea for lowering exhaust emissions by recycling the exhaust gasses
but this also means the car is using dirty carbon filled air recycled from the exhaust
and pushed back through the turbo carbon and oil deposits build up in the inlet manifold swirl flaps
EGR valves get clogged with carbon and stick open turbo vains get dirty and gunk will build up in the intercooler
by deleting the EGR you are then using clean air from the air filter all the time keeping the engine clean and breathing better
this will also increase the BHP most claim 10 to 15 bhp just by getting the EGR mapped out.
