Why would you want to disable the EGR? You should do some research on why it's there ( it's not only emissions) 
To stop sludge build up, and eliminate the risk of the cooler splitting and dumping coolant into my intake.

Yeah I read a little about its effect on combustion temperature. Hence I can do my own testing by simply unplugging the sensor in 5 seconds

EGR's were originaly used to lower combustion temps to save valves from burning out. It doesn't operate under power so there is no performance difference, by adding a "inert filler" into the intake charge you will see a marked improvement in economy (if they added just air it would run lean at cruise leading to an increase in NOX emmissions and lets face it- do you want to be responsible for the death of all those koalas? ) I think the EGR's heat exchangers are a consumable item like our ZF heat exchangers
