Its not and egr valve.
What the half whits are refereing to is the secondary air pump, you will need to blank it off with something though.

Its not the egr valve, egr valve is on the back of the engine not the front.

it is the secondary air injection,
it is there to lower emissions a little and preheat the cat by means of making the lambda read o2 in the system and richening the fueling
you can dicconect the pump and pipework, and blank of the one left small pipe on the turret.
