installing new injectors- gasket and egr question

So I just bought new Bosch III injectors from Southbay for my L98 TPI b/c my stock ones leak. Well anyway I need gaskets so I am getting Felpro MS93035-1. My dad brought up an interesting point, will the egr valve cause a problem of any kind depending on whether it is positive or negative backpressure with this gasket, or does one have nothing to do with the other?

I figured I would ask, can't hurt right, lol. I am not mr. goodwrench but I kinda know my way around this engine.

If the EGR gasket matches the base of the valve and the openings of the intake, there should be no problems regardless of the valve type.
