Evo EGR - Quick Question

[1G_DSM]

I was looking at an Evo and the check engine light was on. The owner said that he removed the EGR and that was why the check engine was on. He said all Evos do that.

I have an EGR block off plate on my 1G and I don't remember it ever turning on the check engine light because the EGR was removed but and Evo and a DSM are two different cars.

I don't know anything about Evos so maybe you Evo owners can give me some info on this.
