Leave it unplugged. It can/will throw codes (not affecting driveability) if left plugged in.

Or you can just leave it unplugged and it will never notice a difference and then make yourself a plate to cover the hole and remove the EGR completely

The RJM plug in only removes the check engine light. There will still be a code. I have it.
