Iam talking about the egr port itself being clogged the exhaust and the intake port that is below the egr valve.

The best way you can check if its clogged is remove the egr valve start the engine for a few seconds the engine should rev up and your should hear a good exhaust leak.Lets see what you find and go from there.
