Use the old classic of removing the air filter.
More free flowing air, lower emissions.

Due to the turbo I would only remove it just before the test & replace it immediately after.

Never failed me yet. (at your own risk though)

And maybe a litre of cooking oil from tesco or liddle, cleaner emissions.  :wink:

Also try cleaning (degreasing) the intercooler and pipework as the engine oil breather dumps into the turbo, which mixes with the EGR to form a loverly black sludge.
