i think unplugging it does pretty much the same thing.

If you are at the track and start having it dump boost unplug it, otherwise why bother?

on some vehicles it can lead to a slight increase in boost pressure but otherwise unless your drag racing it and having problems with it opening I would say leave it alone....but I do have it bypassed on my truck FWIW.

Never had a problem with mine. I believe RPMoutlet has a how-to write up along with the part #'s. All the parts can be purchased at your local auto parts store for under $5 and the install takes 5 minutes tops.

With boost bypass and no cats on street tires I was running 8.60's in the 1/8
Before that I was running 8.90's.

Waste of money. For one, most tunes disable it so it's already off in your tune most likely. And two, you can just unplug the solenoid and that's free.
