Yes. The egr serves to reduce combustion temperatures as well as reducing emissions. This can prevent detonation. It would be a very rare case, however, that blocking it actually did cause problems.

Dolph,
I am sure that Jegs or Summit have the plates and gaskets.

my digital egr valve sometimes backfires when rev dropping in neutral. i think one of the bolts broke and half of it is sitting inside the thread 
If i cant find a replacement at a junkyard, i could just block it off and everything *should* be alright?
