This is a cool idea. Different/bigger/multiple EGRs? I hadn't heard this before. What are the issues in implementation?

I really don't think any. Heck if you inject more than necessary exhaust gas I think the worst that could happen would be a slight overheating and the engine dying (since there is no oxygen to burn) This, however, would not destroy the engine- start it back up and your set.

I would think injecting it into the air intake tube instead of inside the intake manifold would be best. That way you also open up more the throttle due to the denser air (hotter exhaust gas temperature) and decrease throttle losses- another advantage that Lean burn doesn't necessarily give you.
