I removed the complete air box and installed a high flow intake pluged out egr. also last year i did the intake cleaning and that also improved performance. Check out you tube Maxima diesel.

Amazing dramatic improvement.

Must of gained at least 25hp.

virtually no smoke under full throttle

great upgrade

Sounds good. But I think I read the crankcase vent was the place to stop the crud - w/out the oil from the crankcase, the egr doesn't bother things much. Somebody put in a trap in the vent line and found it made a difference. Nice to leave the egr connected if it doesn't hurt anything - good karma and all that.
