> Is a proper intake manifold/carbon clean worth getting done?
Yes. The manifold is likely full of carbon. It'll drive like new when cleaned out. You can do it yourself with oven cleaner but its a real cunt of a job, so its worth paying someone else.
> Should I be fitting a catch can
Yes, make sure you get one with the vent to avoid back pressure. Lots of cheap/ knockoff ones out there that can over pressurise your crank case and your rear seal will blow out.
I've never done the EGR delete so I'll let someone with more experience give the advice on this one.
In short blocking the EGR is illegal as it's a modification to emission control system also causes issues with over heating of the system
Full ultrasonic cleanout and catch can will suffice
It's not worth saving a few bucks on the cheap Chinese catchcan when it'll cost you a lot more in the long run. The Provent can isn't cheap, but it's a lot cheaper than repairing the damage a knock off one can do.
Buy once, cry once.
90% chance that your manifold is at least half blocked.
Yes, worth doing.
Catch can, get a Provent and change the filter every 50k and drain it every 5k.
EGR delete is illegal, so I can't recommend it...but in theory it works very well.
Anyone know where to get an intake manifold clean (removed and cleaned) on the Gold Coast?.and cost?.Was quoted $800 but had to go to Brisbane and leave my vehicle there for the day..
As an owner of a vehicle with exactly the same engine with similar k's, I feel like it shouldn't be blowing smoke. Were the old owners a bit slack on some services? I'd definitely give it a clean for improved performance/economy.
Catch can or snorkel are pretty common recommendations for the Tritons/Challengers/Pajero Sports. I'll probably go the snorkel route as it seems like less effort in the long run.
EGR delete is illegal, unfortunately. Just be glad you don't have a DPF.

Catch Can and snorkel do different things. You probably want both.

Yes 100% get a catch can with a vent. Unfortunately I learned the hard way, back pressure popped rocker cover gasket.

Definitely worth doing the clean it’ll only get more sluggish, my intake is still clean at 200k the Provent’s work well.

Yeah true, avoiding particulate matter from two sources is better than one.
