I tried oven cleaner on mine years ago, don't think it did anything. But then, my turbo wasn't acting up either. Just i had the pipe off, thought i'd try it.
I have an EGR plate in my 2004 AXE, which is a mechanical vacuum operated EGR. It does not throw an engine code.
Blanking the EGR has given a little extra low/mid pull.
Around 2007ish i think T5's went to an electronic EGR. Blanking these EGRs will likely throw an engine code or dash light. Not sure if this can be coded out or overridden. Someone else will likely know. Check which type of EGR valve you have before even trying a plate.
I don't think a plate will fix the issues you are having.
