The intake side egr tends to crack as it is, so if you leave it there only bolted on at the exhaust manifold end and blocking it at the intake end the chance of it cracking goes up significantly since it would just be one long accordion arm bouncing up and down.
you probably also lose some responsiveness since exhaust gases have a large chamber to expand into when you accelerate as opposed to going straight into the turbo and spooling the turbine.
for 15 bucks you can get the ali express race pipe piece that comes with everything but you do lose the 4th support leg for the intake box. for me it does not cause any issues.
if you have the extra dough I would look at the orion diesel egr delete pipe which has the bonus of removing the ASV as well as the shitty intake connection and gaskets that cost 15 bucks a piece to replace.
not sure if DUDMD's tune deletes the ASV but it sounds like a really good idea. I would love to remove mine.
