If you want to kill your EGR, there's a quick and dirty way to do it...Although I don't recommend doing it if you aren't sure you know what you're doing it.
Find your two EGR pipes, remove them from the engine, and bend one end (the end that doesn't go on the block) over twice, and crimp the end shut. If you have a welder, I would bend them over and weld that end shut. I don't have one, nor a heat torch, so I used a vice to bend them over and crimp them shut (I lost about five pounds from manhandling the vice). Make sure nothing will get by them. Even if it looks shut make sure nothing will get by it, or it'll leak. Then build a blockoff plate for your EGR valve (A chunk of metal, I wouldn't say more than a 1/4 inch thick) and get some high temp sealant to seal the plate to it. Cut the Blockoff plate to fit over your EGR valve. Make sure it's a bit bigger than the EGR itself, of course.
I've only done this once, and the pipes leaked a little. Oh well, wasn't my car and I was doing all the work for free :|
Although..I'm sure somebody has a more efficient way to do it. hehe.
