BVSV interchangability?/ Smog

well the cat is new.
just windering if i need a new o2 sensor?
what am i looking for in the egr vsv?

my current bvsv has a busted top "nipple" so i put some tape around it to hold it on and then taped the two hoses together so it wouldnt slip off, but im wondering too if this is causeing a vacuum leak and makes it something to do with not passing smog.

ive never owned a vehicle that ive had to smog before and never owned a vehicle that has EFI wither, so im not sure with what needs to be done to pass smog.
Im not a certified mechanic, but i do know how to work on cars, and dont trust any mechanic shops...esp ones that can make a proffit on smog related problems
