There is no point to block off the EGR valve, it is 100% closed at full throttle anyway. The only thing you would do by blocking it off is lose gas milage.

You will have more torque in part throttle mid rpm. But IMO that doesnt really matter...if you want more torque, you step in a little further.

As Razo said, the only thing that would happen by blocking EGR would be to loose fuel economy and f-up your emissions and ECU feedback systems.

EGR is actually a pretty nice feature. Unfortuantely not all nice cars have it.
