I unplugged mine. No gain in power or mpg. Turbo definitely spools faster and is louder. Hope this helps.

Add a blocker plate, no need to remove. If you just unplug it, some stuff will still blow by due to the pressure. Its best to block it, otherwise nasty gunk gets in your motor!

I'd soon just remove it and it looks better under the hood.
