How hard is it to pull the turbo? EGR on a diesel is stupid. The amount of problems it causes is not worth the small amount of emissions reduction. It really complicates the intake system and engine computer programming. EGR coolers will always be a regular maintenance item. I had a shop clean mine last time but I will replace it next time it gets clogged.
Show more pictures, please.
Beware, too much power puts a strain on the head gaskets. Ford already took the Navistar design and pushed it to the safe limits. Some would say they pushed it too far.
