"EGR will contribute to clog your intake manifold because it introduces soot back in the intake charge. This soot combines with crankcase vapors to form a thick paste in your intake manifold over the miles". ---I have read that this should not be as much of a problem since low sulpher diesel has been adopted in the U.S. Does anyone have any experience with this?

So EGR reduces Nox and may help with faster warmup but what would make more power on say, an off-road racing diesel engine, EGR or no EGR?
