What's the benefit of removing the ebpv?

so valve dont close randomly down the road. i believe better air flow for turbine too. air wants to spin coming out of turnine but hits the butterfly valve inside ebpv housing which blocks airflow even when the valve is open.. which in turn cuts down turbo lagg? someone correct me if im wrong?

The best benefit is better air flow, it block airflow about a 20%, and is equal to low EGTs.
The valve dont close ramdomly downd the road only close, in normal conditions, during warm up.

yea what he said. but anyways do i have to remove the turbo and pedestal to plug hole? i am really gonna hate trying to break the bolts loose on the turbo. will prolly break off. im sure they have never been removed off the truck before. prolly wouldnt hurt to replace oring in oil gallery tho
