yeah James and I suspected this on one of our rebuilds but never measured it. 
 
So what would be the result of the 1.6 inlet on a 1.4

EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculaton 
 
Basically puts fumes from the exhaust back into the inlet for re-burning to improve on emissions.

EGR = reduction in power... but gives better emissions figures..... ermmm..... think we'll leave that off the engine then. IMAO.
