All the > plumping seems to be around the inlet. It seems that way, but is actually "piped" through head from exhaust. Couple of days ago I disconnected the ERG-valve to examine it more closely and I was "shocked". Althought the valve seemed to work, it was FULL OF DIRT. I just imagined a big chunk of carbon dirt leaving the valve and heading toward the cylinders, what could have happened... Anyway, cleaning the valve was pain but since the valve was OK, I think it was worth of it than just buying a new one.. There was actually almost two dinner spoons of dirt insine..
