I had a custom tune written for my Diablo Sport Predator tuner for my 05 to dissable the CEL. By the way it only came on occasionally, but got tired of resetting it on long trips. It was always a P401 but you worry it may be something else when your miles from home. As for the intake stick with the stock manifold, leave the EGR valve in place and connected. Also install freeze plugs in the EGR cooler exhaust inlet and outlets. Remove the scoop in the up-pipe and weld in a stainless plug.

Ok. I am doing arp studs and factory gaskets. I don't understand what you all are saying about the stock manifold... it is stock. The only thing I am changing is an egr delete from sinister diesel. How can I bolt a egr valve on top of the block off plate. Once again, thanks for the help and please keep it comin, im trying to understand what you're saying

if you are doing a true delete, and removing the cooler, and replacing the coolant pipe so it is going direct from intake manifold to oil cooler then there is no side effect from leaving the egr valve in the intake manifold that i can see, they all provide a block off plate for the top of the manifold, but i dont see any reason to remove it, there is mostly negative effects to leaving it unplugged

Having it unplugged messes with fan... correct? If so, how? And will it do what its supposed to even with the egr delete?

If the EGR delete application was used for what it's really intended for and that's off road racing and by the way the only legal installation, you would use the block off plate. On the street you want it to look as stock as possible depending on state or provincial smog laws and regulations. Use the pretty blue plate with the Sinister logo on your tool box, wall or somewhere else. On your engine it's a dead give away.
