    I have a question. I was always told that blocking it off kept you from sucking in all that hot air. How do you have hotter combustion chamber. Or am I misinformed.
    Exhaust gases are hot, but not as hot as during combustion. Since the exhaust has already been through combustion it can't be burned again, so it's just an inert gas that doesn't really do anything. By sending it back through the intake, the exhaust gases just take up space that could be used by clean air. Less air in the chamber means there will be a smaller "explosion".
