Disconnected EGR Valve

I disconnected my egr valve this past weekend because it was making my boost jump all over the place and causing a rough idle. Question I have shouldnt this throw a code, my scan gauge is saying no trouble codes at all, I took my other scanner and it also said no pending codes?

Either way my truck is running 10x better than it was. I think I may need a new oil cooler though . I just had egr cooler and hpop, ipr replaced. Temps are reading ECT 192 EOT 208.

IIRC, the early builds 03's and 04's wont throw a code for the Unplugging the EGR. My 04 late build does.

Is this true with the new '03 flashes?
