	From my understanding EGR basicaly takes up space and lowers combustion
temperature helping emmisions.  I am not sure of the effect on detonation
if the engine is prone to this but suspect it is not positive.  The other
effect is lots of carbon(black gunk) buildup in the intake that tends to
cause driveability problems when IAC pasages are pluged. 
	I personaly wouldnt use EGR if I dident need to.
