Cheap at the price, only the Torx bits necessary are male on the EGR.

ie. Round bolt with internal star shape?

  Hi,
     I bid and won a set from this guy for a reasonable amount :).

 I've bought quite a few tools from him and are really good quality IMO :y.

Keep a look out in Lidl, they do a set every now and again with long Torx and short in the pack. Also they have a decent rachet drive to use with them.

Only trouble I had was trying to undo or hold the top strut on a Carlton front suspension. Sheared off the Torx. :-[
