You will gain approximately 0 rwhp. The EGR valve is closed during WOT.

Is is not a performance mod. It is an aesthetic mod.

the only thing i heard good about it was that it prevents "carbon build-up" in the intake side of the engine, but i haven't seen any real proof of that yet...

Simply blocking mine off with a homemade gasket between the pipe and plenum dropped intake temperatures a bit, but absolutely killed my fuel economy.

previously stated the egr is closed at wot its only in effect when cruising to allow the pcm to lean out the a/f for better mpg

The EGR does not lean out the a/f ratio. It puts dead air in the combustion chamber to lower chamber temps to improve emmisions.

Your right I fail, but it CAN increase mpg aswell, maybe not greatly but better is better
