Is better to keep it clean instead of removing it.
Fuel consumption increases a little when you delete your egr because when egr is open, turbo pressure drops down & maf readings, maf is the "thing" who gives your car the information to inject more or less fuel, more air, more fuel.
You can see this by yourself in vag-com, you can do the egr test and see how it changes the amount of air into the engine, in this test you can also see how is your vnt turbo system working, my car doesent have egr, in cars without egr, this test dont work.
The negative side of having a egr is that your intake will get clogged, when this happen you will loose performance and your fuel consumption will increase, so the ideia is keep it clean.
