how do you properly delete your egr and how do you "turn it off" in your computer? i just disconnected the vac lines and left the plug off but I thats wrong lol

Drew, you need a tuner like a Tweecer or another program that allows you to manipulate values in the car's computer. Don't listen to guys who say "I just blocked off the valve and nothing's happened to me". Just because they don't hear the ping doesn't mean it isn't happening at part throttle. After you shut the function off in the computer then you can use one of the EGR delete kits that are so popular to removed and block off the EGR valve.

Tim is, as usual, right on. A handheld that allows it or a chip are the way to turn it off in the puter. Doing this will dial back all the EGR-induced advance, and increase the injector pulsewidth during times when the EGR would have functioned.
