EGR Delete Question? Put EGR Valve back in hole?

Hello fellas.

Truck:

2006 6.0l PSD, River City Diesel EGR Delete, custom SCT tunes (street, tow aggresive with turbo brake, and economy.) Had my CCV rerouted, EGR turned off via the SCT, and a coolant filter since practially new. Truck has 97,000 miles on it. Coolant filter has saved my oil cooler, as verified by my Scan Gauge II.

I just completed my River City Diesel Delete and noticed my boost maxed out at 21 lbs which is lower than before, EGT's are lower too. (goodbye POS passenger side up pipe scoop!!).

I'm OK with this because it runs like a champ!!
I'm ok with lower boost numbers & EGT's myself as it should help reliability. No studs.

Mileage not affected.

No exhaust leaks! Was not fun working around my Magnaflow 4" downpipe.

EGR cooler didn't fail but she looked like it got hot from the discoloration where the EGR Cooler/Uppipe met. Had minor puking when towing 11,000 lbs, and pushed hard.

Anyway here is my question:

I put the River City EGR valve delete "plate" where the EGR Valve once was.

I promptly got the check engine light with a P0403 & p0405. Called Innovative Diesel and they said to just plug the EGR valve back in and leave it on top of the engine. Check engine light off.

The EGR Valve looks like **** laying there on top of the engine plugged in.

Can I just put the EGR valve back in the hole with it plugged in?

Or will I leak boost? I can't tell from the 6 liter bible pictures.

Thanks in advance.

I didnt use the blocker plate I just put the valve back in the intake manafold where it came from and plugged it in

If you went with a full egr deleate the intake is sealed anyway theres no way to suck in exhaust
Its fine with the egr valve where it was
