Yes sir, as the butterfly closes(which is only used to restrict air so more from EGR goes into the intake and during this you can hear this noise especially if

you put on an aftermarket air intake.

Keep the EGR % as mush as possible is a really good thing.

Reason:
Long as that EGR is opening up it is slowly filling up the intake with soot.
Once it hit a pretty high % like 80 % over time the repair is insane.

1. Cab off
2. Turbos off
3. Intake off
4. They power way the intake.

I was quote 2,500 for the repair, of that was my ford dealership buddy and he could of been jacking with me.
I know it's not cheap.

Welcome aboard!

did you mean "keep % 'CLosed' as much as possible"??
The Reply I got from Banks on inquirey about it said that programming is not .specifically closing the egr valve but the improved efficiency from programing leads to egr not needing to open, if I understood it correctly.
