Interesting idea. On my car the EGR passage is cast into the head and intake manifold. The EGR valve is bolted on, so I might be able to rig some sort of adapter in it's place that re-routes EGR gasses to some sort of heat exchanger, then mount the EGR control valve elsewhere. Maybe I could use a spare EGR valve from a junked car and thread some 1/2"NPT fittings. Hmmmm.. OK I have some ideas to work out.
Ironically, if I do this the smog tech personnell might fail me for a modified EGR valve.
