Why not just make a block off plate for the EGR a peice of sheet metal is all you need.

The taller the spacer, the more top end you'll have, the shorter the spacer, the more low end grunt you'll have.

Actually your engine will be subject to pinging if the EGR is removed.

 

[bigun72]

wat do u mean pingin?

With the egr system removed/disable the engine is prone to pre-ignition (pinging). To get rid of it the distributor needs to be "recurved" to the differences of the engine.
