only notice a lot better running, if i had more time i would clean the intake from EGR goop aswell, gonna change it later anyway...

soot is invisible in rear mirror just like before, only notice a little gray haze during startup(like before) if weather conditions and lighting are right

she gets warm just like before after about 3km(2 miles) for pretty warm and fully warm at 5-6km (3.5-4 miles) only notice cooler running when fully warm in traffic, no more seeing temperature needle rise a lot during idle wich probably is because of the removed throttle plate(more air)

EGR function is to lower combustion temperature to reduce NOx--make the burning cooler, how this is supposed to help warming up engine is a riddle to me

and yes no such thing on this car
