And still has plenty of path before hitting the manifold.
That's what I was originally thinking about doing and then sneaking up on the minimum opening before codes would be thrown. Would be interested in hearing your results. My experience with this EGR/MAF system is that its tightly constrained and sensitive to modifications because of all the cross checking it does ...
