The euro pumps are different interally especially the M pump. That wagon may have had one I don't remember any more. The EGR has a metal plate in the middle. Perhaps I should add some gasket sealer. I do think its a fuel issue at this point as at 7psi I had lots of black smoke, now I appear to have none. Backing the ALDA out all the way DID make a difference.
