Unfortunately, I won't be able to do that.

In the absence of that info, what I want to do is find some way of gradually opening up the EGR valve while monitoring mileage. Do a run @ 25% open, check mpg over that run, do another run @ 50% open and check mileage, rinse & repeat. I'll create some sort of load vs valve opening map and hopefully find some way of controlling the valve with it.
