Assuming everything is set-up correctly, you should save money to buy
repalcement engines.  The EGR on these engines lowers combustion chamber
temps,(Peak Flame Temperature).  This reduces the tendancy of the engine to
knock, ping, and melt pistons.  The control of the PFT also reduces smog by
reducing the formation of NOX.
