From my research that would make sense as the car has to be tuned to turn the EGR off. I also read that the Theft light flashing on the dash can be a result of the car being tuned or the ECU being tampered with in some way. It is the stock AOL3 ECU as I did confirm that last week. The more I dig into troubleshooting the car the more I think the idle issue is related to the emissions parts removal, aka vacuum leak somewhere, or the tune itself. The car runs fine and pulls good otherwise, but this idle / rpm hang issue is super annoying.
