Is it helpful to the engine to unplug the EGR valve, for any reason? Will it stay cleaner inside?
I have tried it both ways and cannot tell any difference performance wise.

I will weld the Y-pipe on mine. I bought a new one from ford and have modified it to suit my needs. If ever there is a problem, the original can be put back in.

This mod allow the EGRV to operate normally, but not have any exhaust flow through it. There is only a position sensor in the EGRV, no flow or pressure sensors.
