Default what to use? plug EGR hole in intake

I'm going to delete the emissions on my TA. I have everything tuned out already. What do you all use to plug the hole behind the TB where the egr goes in?

ugh, i forgot what the plug i bought for it is called. if no one can answer this for you by tonight, i'm gonna find out the name for it tomorrow. but it works perfect. as you tighten it, a bushing expands inside, making it airtight.

When I got my headers from SpeedInc they sent me some piece that looks like a poland spring water bottle cap turned upside down, and metal, and heavy duty... i used that with a little RTV and it's been working great until I get the LS6 with no EGR. Good luck.
