ConnClark, thanks for the comprehensive (not to say
exhaustive) write up. The main reason I decided to go ahead with the EGR cooler is because later versions of my engine have it, so it is a no-fuss direct swap. Yes, I take into account that the newer engine's ECU compensates for cooled EGR and may keep the valve open for a shorter time. I'll see if I notice a difference in fuel economy and in power. If something goes wrong I can still tweek the EGR valve to open less.
