Yeah, the EGR will clog up after 100-130k miles on that engine. I recommend disassembling it and cleaning out the valve, the pipe to the intake manifold, and as much as you can get into the head too.

In any case, you should get the car working properly before you begin to modify it. You'll see better gains from fixing stuff than modding stuff.
