Capturing emissions and recirculating them back through the engine to reburn them is inherently less efficient for power. It reduces the amount of emissions at the tailpipe at the expense of power and longevity. The EPA doesn’t give a shit about how much power your car makes, they care about the sulphur and NOx emissions from diesel engines making it into the air.
You can make a more fuel efficient and powerful diesel that will go for a couple million miles by straight piping it, but the emissions are god awful.
Not the process, the standards. Burning more fuel to “reduce emissions”. then I have to spend a bunch of money “fixing” a brand new vehicle to get the power and fuel efficiency the car was always capable of in the beginning.
How does that blow your mind?

Your Jetta can only hit those numbers rolling coal.
Awesome! I’ll have a “peace love” and lgbtqaaip2s+ bumper stickers to really confuse everyone.
