Fixitsan dongle

Hello! For about a year I'm the owner of a beautiful Alfa GT QV 1.9. Just did the timing belt plus the swirl valves.
My car is in good health for now, but I want to block the EGR and replace the DPF with a pipe- the usual set of mods for a JTDm.
For now I don't wanna do a remap as i want one after I replace the clutch and as I read the forum a Fixitsan dongle for EGR & DPF off will be perfect for me. Unfortunatelly, those seem quite hard to come by. If any one have one lying around and it's willing to sell it I will be more than happy to buy it from him. Any advices regarding my car and subsequent problems I might encounter:titanic: are welcomed. Thanks!

I believe if you remove the DPF the car will automatically fail the MOT.

It will in the UK.

No idea about Bucharest.

No worries about an MOT failure, just a little guilty about my carbon footprint ?

Pretty sure none of the UK registered 1.9 JTDm GT's came fitted with a DPF... There might be a few late model GT's that came with a DPF shoe-horned on, but not a concern for UK cars.

Those dongles are very hard to find. I've been looking too!

I've read that these EGR-delete dongles on eBay allegedly work. Can't remember where now, as I had mine mapped out by Autolusso.

Yes, those are a compromise solution, also. But for me the solution was fixitsan dongle or remap. It's gonna be a remap and fingers crossed for the clutch not to suffer too much. it's the QV clutch better(different) then the standard 1.9 one?
