There are various methods, in order of easiness...

1. If the small vacuum pipe is simply prevented from applying any vacuum, that will prevent the EGR valve from opening. Disconnect it and block the end of the pipe, or block and refit, or simply close up the stub pipe on the EGR and refit. It will not help if the exhaust valve is passing though.

AND/OR
2. Seal the stub where the exhaust fits onto the EGR.

3. Fit a modified EGR or a complete EGR bypass.

Any of the above will prevent any further build up of the horrible black gunge in the EGR and the inlet system.
