Hey everyone, whats the best thing to get the most power? Removing the EGR blue plug? Or installing a blanking plate n the inlet elbow?
Whats the best thing for most power?

Neither will gain you power, they will just stop the exhaust gases recirculating, in turn stoping the sludge that forms in the inlet from getting worse (exhaust gases mixed with oil mist in the intake).

it will only gain lost power if you fitted valve is faulty
it will also Probably gain you a few MPG extra by fitting the blank/removing it totaly
i fitted a blank plate to mine and gained a few MPG back as i believe the valve was letting by

Blanking plate is a more definitive method of blocking it. As said above if your valve is leaking slightly then undoing the plug will leave that leak.
