You can have the EPROM burned to turn off the EGR function.
If you run a 160deg T-stat it's quite likely that the ECM will never open the EGR valve to cool the combustion chambers so it would not detect that the system had been removed.

My code just set again the other day & I've had it both with & without the EGR control connected while having the tube from my headers blocked off.
Luckily I've got that aftermaket chip on the way from a fellow forum member w/ the code disabled. I freakin hate it when cruising along at 65-70 on the freeway & that damn light goes on....
