It all depends how well your EGR valve is currently working. If it's in tip top shape you should not notice a difference, however if it is all sooted up and not seating properly it should make a subtle but worthwhile difference. Try pulling the vac pipe off and see if there is any difference.

yup block the supid thing orft . . .this was over engineering at its wurst , it twas designed to stop nasty fuel immisions from killing earthlings, sumtimes works fer 10,000 miles then gets all blocked up un makes fings wurser. . . .if yer gonna make a valve then it should always do a functon , like a pooper valve. . .that has a very good function ,but if it fails ,yer in the ****e. . . . .
