Yeah it's happened to me along with several others. Just make sure there aren't any other codes besides '32'. Did this come on before or after you ported your plenum? It really isn't much to worry about until smog time.

Your two main suspects are the EGR solenoid and the EGR temperature diagnostic switch/sensor. Make sure the solenoid is connected and operating, and make sure the temperature switch closes when the temperature hits over 350°
