The EGR valve is removed and I frankly cannot even see where it would have attached to the intake manifold or throttle body.
Keep in mind that UFO is doing this on a diesel engine. Most gasoline engines benefit in power, mpg, and emissions from using EGR. In diesels its normally mostly an emissions tool.
