If it's the same as mine (z18xe) then there should be a thin metal plate that sits between the EGR and the engine manifold. When I took mine off to clean it, the plate was well and truly stuck to the EGR and needed prised off. New one was only a couple of quid at the dealers. I suspect it may have some form of coating on it that helps seal things.
off topic. how u get on we ya mot?
There should always be a gasket otherwise there is risk of exhaust gases escaping into the engine bay and therefore into the cabin.
nothing better than the smell of burnt petrol

Just Had A Looksy Oan Fleabay...Can`t See Gasket For A 1.8 EGR
Gaskets shouldn't be anymore than a few quid from the dealers, plus they'll usually have them in stock too.
i got one from a motor factors for 91p and one from the stealers for £1.83, the mf one was silver and the VX one was black. No instant gasket needed.
