Not to hijack, but a continuation on the same subject but a bit deeper -

I have read numerous threads on the EGR / no EGR dispute along with this one, my question is - the concern with running lean on mid rpm, higher load situations, can this not be alleviated through tuning, if you are running a piggy back, along with monitoring engine if running both a AF gauge (from a wide band) along an EGT gauge?

Not if the tccs is operating in closed loop during this time. It will "correct" itself back to where it wants to be effectively undoing the tuning you did.

Also if the timing is too advanced there's nothing you could do about that with out a maft pro.

really not a dispute.

People tend to complicate this system more than what it is. In the end, Exhuast gases or Argon. Both are inert, both displace what the engine needs. O2. Detonation is NOT always tied to ignition timing. Sometimes design affect detonation supression more than anything else.

so...leave the EGR system off and block plates on? is that what your saying lol

What I am saying,

People tend to complicate this system more than what it is. That is it! If someone is ignorant to what any part or system accomplishes, then research what it actually does, the why and the cause effect relation. Really not that hard!

Then make a decision based on that research not what uncle Roofus's grandmother 3rd removed cousin's dog babysitting girl's brother posted on the interwebber. ;) I know I posted lots of stuff from Mahle (Cosworth) regarding this very topic along with a intresting down under experiment.
