May I ask why you need to replace it? A code # or symptom?
They rarely go bad.
There is a good site for troubleshooting EGR, over here:

My check engine light was on and my mechanic ran it through the computer and that's what was tripping it. He said he tested it with an air gun and basically it was stuck open. And my mechanic always cuts us deals and helps me out so idt he's just saying it to make a quick buck.
