Some people with Califoria emissions trucks have bought a spare valve ... to connect to the connector ... but not be installed (just tied off under the hood). This does what you suspect --- fools the engine into thinking it has a working EGR.

He is talking about physically removing the shaft that connects the actuating portion of the valve to the valve body itself to prevent it from opening.

Great pix of egr valve in 6.0 psd training engine
I just put a great pix in my gallery that shows a closeup of the egr valve in a cut-a-way 6.0 psd from International. I have many views of their engine that I will upload today. This was taken about a week ago during the 10th anniversary of the psd at Indy.

My EGR plug fell off....funny how that happened....must have been made on Monday or something....but any way, it is louder to the good ear the other one didnt notice.....the lag that was present in the turbo before is not as bad......not sure on the A/C thing seems to be the same, but I live in Big "D" where it is HOT all the time....only got 1600m on it right now, and that darn plug fell off at about 700m.....havent noticed a difference in mileage since it fell off, just went on first road trip to Austin and got 15.13 the old school way.....the lie-o-meter said it was gettin 15.7....no IDIOT lights as of yet....I'll give an update after a few more tanks of fuel and an oil change.

Welcome to FTE TLW 
Always happy to great yet another TEXICAN
There are a # of us in the DFW area...Next thing you know ol' Tim himself will move here.
Interesting how that plug keeps jumping off these trucks...must be an alergic reaction or something.

Just a brain fart here...
If you wanted rid of the throttle plate AND the crossbar, you could just go to a dealer and order the assembly for the 2003 Build models. Just a straight tube
It would also provide a nice mounting plate for any sort of injector nozzles you need to install, ex. Water, Nitrous, Propane nozzles.
