The EGR does not improve performance AT ALL and only serves to put more crud into the intake manifold. Put a plate between the EGR and its gasket, a ball bearing in its control line, or just remove all the vacuum nonsense that exists for the EGR only. Or do like me and do all three incrementally over time as you learn just what the !@#$% is really going on.

Check out this thread:
EGR elimination, 617 engine
And yes, it is a very sad thing...I finished mine off yesterday and, well...I slept like a baby last night...
