Apparently this is not unusual.
600hp Detroits IIRC.

No, DPF and EGR are not the same.
Although they both suck.
As explained, a dpf is in the exhaust pipework and may or may not have another injector, aswell as its regen and burn requirements.
An EGR is an ' exhaust gas recirculation' system. Which essentially sucks exhaust through a cooler and back through your intake. Good for nothing other than emissions and clogging up your intake system.
And if they crack, your diesel engine can get a gutfull of water. Hence why most people do an egr block off.
Both dpf and egr are for emissions and nothing else.
Hope that helps.
