"It is true that the EGR  recycles exhaust gas through the engine and those gasses are less than optimum for combustion"

 

And for that reason alone I said "bye bye" to my EGR years ago.

does removing the egr give any power increase???????????????????????

No

Interesting reading.

 

If I read it correctly, isn't it saying that...

 

"It is true that the EGR  recycles exhaust gas through the engine and those gasses are less than optimum for combustion"

 

...but that this is fine, as optimum combustion isn't needed at the times when the EGR valve opens up?
