Just so ~ you do understand that inserting exhaust gases into the intake screen in any Diesel engine increases particulate emissions , right ? .
Not a whole helluva lot but as I've said ; two of my M-B Diesels have smoke issues and both run better with the EGR disabled .
I took SWMBO out on errands and lunch to - day in the Euro spec. 84/85 (that's how it's titled) turbo TD and once again marveled at the *instant* throttle response and amazing power it has , all with no discernible smoke no matter how hard I run it .
I'm enjoying all the information , thoughts and ideas here .
BTW : I know bupkis about lightning except it'll shock the living crap out of you when you're a kid leaning against a wet tree in a serious down pour and lightning hits the lake surface 50' out.....
