Tim -
It's a solenoid, so if you vary the voltage to the input coil, it will probably only open so far.

Also, I think 10% exhaust flow is going to be 10% exhaust flow, no matter what engine it's on. I don't think displacement really makes a difference, because many auto makers are famous for using the same EGR's and associated parts on many engines.

I believe the actual flowrate is relative to the size of the opening, not the displacement of the engine.
