Well, that code is for insufficient EGR flow detected. If you have replaced the egr and checked the tubing already, maybe checking the gaskets at the connections with the headers would help? Maybe an obstruction within the header connection? Or maybe the header connection just isn't supplying enough exhaust gas to satisfy the EGR. Have you contacted Kooks?

I already replaced the gaskets thats the first thing i did and i sent an email to kooks about it but never heard back from them. i always tought it could be that the header was maybe defective i was hoping that wasnt the case though.
