Like Kyle said.
The EGR helps to reduce combustion temps. Getting rid of it on your 22RE will make it run worse not better. You will have light throttle hesitation, mid RPM bog, pinging under load and poor fuel economy.
Remember, the ECU will retard the timing via knock sensor without the EGR so you will be slower not faster without it. Also, if you have emissions testing in your area, you'll probably fail the NOx part of the test.
