Default 01 throwing p0401 code

sucks to be me im throwing a egr insufficient flow code ... and before that my vsv was done and had to replace that now im still battling this one ...

-i did the vacuum test and the engine died out
-took off the erg and cleaned it out
-sprayed throttle body intake cleaner ...

i dont really know what else to try but to replace the egr itself ... is that my only option and are there any sites that might be cheaper than $175 or is just the going price?

any help is appeciated thanks ...
