What year is your car?
The EGR recirculates exhaust gas into the intake to lower combustion chamber temps. The S5's don't have the EGR actuator anymore, but the S4 does. I personally recommend blocking it off, in my experiences they don't work anymore anyways, and often introduce a vacuum leak due to the actuators diaphram having cracks from the heat.

yeah scrap it, it most likely does not work, but the benefits of having a working one are better emission and they are supposed to reduce heat in the combustion area by removing some element, atleast thats what i read it does on piston engines. But it does take away a minute amount of power by replacing pure air with recirculated already combusted air. And it might allow a vac leak as pengaru mentioned.
