turbodiesel,

Performing the EGR modification has yielded great benefits for me, and countless others with whom I have corresponded over the years.

The number 1 benefit is that the intake is kept MUCH cleaner, which directly helps to keep the banjo fitting more free of buildup so boost pressures are not compromised. The number 2 benefit is that by eliminating the introduction of exhaust gases into the intake, along with your cleaner air, turbo lag is greatly reduced and low-end acceleration is greatly improved.

Disclaimer: this is a modification of the emissions equipment and is not legal...I'll take my chances for a much cleaner, smoother operating engine.
