Why do you want to weld the EGR VALVE? Did you mean the EGR cooler block off plate? Anybody could do that with a welder, if you have the EGR cooler out.

You also could get a dummy valve or plug and hang the original valve on the wires, so it won't throw a code...

Don't forget, that even though the ARP studs are costly, but the main and greatest mod IMO. If I can go back in time, I wouldn't think about it twice.
Since I have it, I can just push the pedal to the floor without having the tiniest fear ....

The best mod what i would get - if we stay at the "cheap" category - coolant filter from Dieselsite. No HP , but your truck will love it. And your pocket in the future....

I second dcaddi2 suggestion for the coolant filter - about $150 with the ball valves delivered to your door - Don't even hesitate on this one. I would put this at the top of your list! Next ,High idle mod - all you need is a switch that costs about $6 and some 16 gauge wire (instructions are in the Tech Folder). Fumoto oil drain valve is another good one if you do your own oil changes; costs around $28. Also, if you have your stock air intake I would put it back on and save your turbo... that can be expensive to fix.
