Default EGR now removed and it counts. BC it leaked

The EGR mushroom now is removed and I made blockoff plates that seal the intake pipe and the exhaust manifold hole too.
A significant increase, drives a little better than earlier bc there was a leak between the exhaust manifold and the turbo area.

The turbo spools as it should and is more audible than earlier when exhaust manifold leaked. It is smoother and engages better and stronger. My RPMs still have a little pause at or slightly above 3000rpm but most of the annoyance is gone.
It does feel like an exhaust blockage but i simply can not believe that in my case bc I drive it on long trips and there should be none of the soot in there. Unless the exhaust pipes or the mufflers self deteriorated and partially clogged themselves which I also doubt.

As i`m typing here I have a feeling my injectors suck. I`ll investigate further lol.
