The answer is likely yes. A non functioning EGR valve will cause the exhaust fumes to have too much of the "bad stuff" (NOx I think, but don't quote me)

the EGR system is designed to reduce NOx emissions.

You can disable it to run your turbo and re-enable it to do your e-tests as well.

But the fact is, you don't have to disable it to run a turbo -- it just means you have to tune for it as it results in slightly higher IATs and cylinder temps.
