Im looking for information on mainly how changing the tooth count on the ring gear might effect the function of the EGR system.
Changing the tooth count will change the perceived RPM seen by the EGR system. If you have a situation where it is critical that it function as designed at various engine RPM, it needs to be assembled as designed with the correct tooth count. There's not really any other way around it.
