EGR Bypass

[redducati]

I had the pipe from the manifild to the EGR cooler today, massive lack of power and it sounded like a tank. Its looking like the whole cooler needs replacing. So im wondering is blanking off or bypassing the EGR system is an option
Car is a 2005 2.0 TDi BLB engine

I had it repaired at my mates garage, the pipe from the manifold had cleanly snapped at the flange. They managed to weld it.
The Ducati has now gone, replaced by a KTM 640 Supermoto, half the power but twice the fun. Im on the look out for an early ZX10R trackbike
