Also, what about the EGR? On this car, I am not even sure where it is at, but I am sure it could use a good gutting out too. Should it be removed, or just cleaned?

I'd start with adjusting it. If that doesn't get your low RPM acceleration back then you can always remove it. Just 1.5 turns out on the screw made a WORLD of difference in the low speed acceleration of my 300CDT.
As for the EGR, I just unbolted mine at the intake and used the original gasket as a template to made two gaskets and a blockoff plate. I put the gaskets and blockoff plate between the EGR and the intake flange and bolted it back on. Looks 100% stock, but its totally disabled.
