Default EGR Delete

I changed my spark plugs the other day and the darn EGR tube was in my way. I got to thinking and since I have a tuner and will be getting my tunes within a week or 2 maybe I should delete the EGR. What all is involved in deleting the EGR? what do I need to do the delete? Is it worth deleting or keeping? thanks.

All you have to do is remove the EGR tube and valve, cap off the hole in the header, and bolt a plate to where the valve mounts and you're done.

Is there a place to get all the things I need or do I have to piece it together?

I know I've seen the blockoff plate somewhere just can't remember where. One of our not so big sponsors like autobadges or ssm but its neither of those i dont think.

I made my own blockoff plate, the hard thing to get is the cap for the pipe at the manifold, just order it from VMP. You also end up deleting a few other sensors as well when its all done.

I've deleted mine as well... and what are all the sensors that need to be turned off for this to be completely done?

I know I'm just confused why your sister is doing work for you on your car...
