The soot or carbon particles that a diesel creates (a lot) pollutes the nice, clean intake air via the EGR, thereby nullifying the air cleaner (WTH is the point with cleaning the air, if you're just going to load the air with s**t anyway.)
EGR's on diesels are only meant as a test valve. Once the vehicle leaves the showroom floor, the test is over and the valve can and should be removed or neutralized forthwith. If you want to "cool" the combustion, inject water vapor or use an intake intercooler, but whomever came up with the idea of regurgitating filthy exhaust into the engine needs to be pummeled about the head and neck untill semi-conscious.
Then again, this is just my opinion, and opinions are like...........
