Hi,
As the winter rolls in, I have been thinking about dynamic EGR. Recycling hotter exhaust gasses in in low loads seems like it would preserve a lot of the heat loss on a cold start.
I can do it via tune, or wire up the N18 (at 6v or so perhaps 50% cycle) to my coolant glow plug switch/thermostat. With VCDS I can plan what kind of voltage to feed the N18 for a certain flow.
One concerns I have about using EGR when cold:
-Egr gases probably condenses more when cold. I don't believe how the tuners that do it can say that this prevents clogging.
Has anyone compared short trip/stop and go trips with no egr vs dynamic egr/stock egr?
