    Might sound a bit daft, and i'm not a genius on cars, but would disabling the EGR valve not decrease MPG, and would you not fail emissions test on MOT?

    No and no, if yours is a 2.2 petrol yours is the only engine in the Vec C line up where all you have to do is blank it, no software upgrade needed. And mine passed its MOT on saturday and my EGR is blanked.

    you dont get exhaust gasses back in your inlet manifold which clogs up your manifold and swirl flaps, you have cleaner and cooler air which does not choke your car and less problems with egr sticking and it just runs better with it blanked. its only there to meet euro 3 emissions regs and in my eyes they are a waste of time and cause to much bother when americans are driving around in there big v8s

    No gains really mate, unless you really go to town in the intake. The same engine in the US doesn't even have the EGR fitted. If you have a look into your inlet manifold it will be full of oil and soot, combined they really choke the intake up. Eliminating the zorst gassed can only be good. The EGR is only to meet Euro 4 regs from factory, as soon as it leaves the factory its not legally needed.
