An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) arrangement (10) having an intake manifold (12) with a valve base assembly (14) integrated with the engine's intake manifold (12). The valve base assembly (14) has a valve seat (22) positioned in the path of fluid flow through the valve base (14). A valve member (24) is also contained in the valve base (14) and is operably disposed in relation to the valve seat (22). An actuator (34) is connectable with the valve base (14) and with the valve member (24) to open and close the valve seat (22) in response to actuation of the actuator (34). The actuator (34) can disconnect from the valve base (14) and valve member (24).
