EGR is the root of the problems, and will be in more and more modern gasoline cars to reduce emissions and meet new federal mandates. Diesel engines have had EGRs for much longer because of their pollution issues, I have read/watched alot about the ford truck diesels and their issues. The solution to the carbon issues in diesels has been to just disable the EGR, install an oil catch can for the PCV, and mod the ecu. This won't pass an emissions check but it will keep the motor reliable. The other option is to inspect and service the EGR system early and often.
