Locate the EGR and remove it leaving an oval'ish opening into the intake manifold. 2 options, either make a block off plate to fit the opening (I think the ones sold for the OM617's are the same size) and throw away the EGR or use the gasket as a pattern and cut a thinner block off piece (I used copper roofing flashing) and replace the EGR with this underneath.
