Wondering if this actually works (number 2):
http://www.focushacks.com/mod/DPFE_Sensor_and_EGR_Information
If so, will my CEL still be on when I do it? Will it lower my gas mileage at all? Will it cause issues in the long run, if I leave it this way?
For those of you that have already done this EGR delete for permanent reasons, how long have you driven it, and is your car still running fine?
One last thing...what do I use to block off the two metal lines coming out of the back of the EGR valve itself?
For those of you who haven't read my thread yet, that can be found here for what kind of issues I have taken care of already, and what's left that I'm still working on:

The same code as everyone else...p0401.
EGR has been cleaned.
DPFE has been replaced.
Vacuum lines have all been checked.
EGR solenoid sensor tested at 12.3 volts.
Please, this is my last help I'm hoping to find for this issue. Can't seem to track down the damn problem! [rant]
Edit: 3rd gear still seems to be "jolting" forward once the transmission is warmed up well, over a 40 minute drive or so. The car will revv up and then it will feel like it's hanging for a minute (not shifting) and then shift, but when it does, it jolts forward. Pretty uncomfortable feeling, considering that $1,000 bill was intended to be put to good use, and not a destroyed transmission.
