Both of these "throttle body" type flaps are drive by wire, there are no "throttle cables" or any mechanical connections to them, the ECM has control using little motors with position sensors on the flaps. The EGR gas flows from a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area as assisted by the ECM

Could this account for increased mileage with an EGR tune in a VW?
