Yes, EGR in 1995. Bosch numbers are the same. You will need to know what year it came out of.

Speaking of R ecus, just how much different is the tuning on the R's?

its just just a turbo ECU with 2 extra PSI? Or does boost comin alot earlier?

With the stock turbo tune, my car is really lazy until its movin.

Your car's situation is more than likely a factor of wastegate actuator arm preload not being within spec. In any case, you should be able to improve responsiveness by tightening the actuator arm a couple of turns. If you search around there should be some posts detailing how this is done.

In terms of ECU differences, it might just be a boost difference, but I suspect the ignition timing is a little bit more aggressive on the R cars as well. Keep in mind that the R cars in every other market got bigger injectors and a more efficient turbo.
