EGR unplug

EGR unplug
When I read "unplug the EGR", are we talking about unplugging the wire connector only, or do you have to do a full delete. I am going to need my full emissions equipment for infrequent scheduled inspections. Also I read that disconnecting the wire throws the computer off and it runs a second program which may be damaging in the long run. What about unplugging and terminating a resistor which shows 0% valve position. If this doesn't fail the logic it could keep the computer on program A and allow for the proper fuel / air mix. Any thoughts?

My EGR has been unplugged for more than 20,000 kms. Because of the open circuit, the engine light is on and the dinger goes off at start up. I don't even notice it now. I saw a 1 to 2 MPG increase and an increase in throttle response. You can plug it in at any time and after 4 start cycles the engine light will go out.
