Keep in mind that diesels and gas engines react differently to increasing EGR flow. For gas engines its almost always a good thing (unless you dillute the mixture so much that you get misfires or an incomplete burn). For diesels, balancing EGR is much more tricky. While it can increase efficiency, it generally does not. However, it almost always decreases NOx emissions in both engine types.

Thanks a ton for testing this out t vago. Still looking forward to seeing more results.
