Also I just remembered I didn't use any gasket goo! Should I have?
Absolutely. Permatex Ultra-Blue Sensor-Safe is the best one to use. Apply it to both sides of the plate.

So I just done this mod today, and I must say I'm not sure if there was much point in doing it. When I took the original gasket or what ever you call it to put the blanking plate in it looked brand new! I was expecting lots of carbon build up on it. It does shut off more smoothly now but I didn't notice much in performance wise if any. Will probably notice it when I next tow the jet ski or a load of wood. Also just wanted to make sure I did this last bit correctly I disconnected the red plug as I read somewhere that it disconnects the swirl valve? Can anyone please just let me know if this is correct!

Does anyone know where you could by an EGR blanking plate? What thickness and material to look for?

most people don't notice the shutdown butterfly noise. it can be a case of now your listening for it, you hear it.
with the swirl butterfly, i noticed a slight increase in pull in the very low rpm. bit smoother.
someone posted that they noticed quite a bit of difference when the swirl was disabled. but there engine was also chipped. so it could be that they had the fuel that could use the extra air flow.
Doesn't mean you should block yours right away - it's a bit like having your nuts ripped off because 2 out of a hundred of your ancestors had testicular cancer.
