As said above, I wouldnt remove your dump valve mate, you will damage your turbo and engine if you over boost! the whole reason for a dump valve is to control over boost!

As said dump valve isnt meant to be removed its there for a purpose ie to bleed boost back into the system if youve removed your dv? where have you/how have you sorted the pipes from the dv removal?

No i been running it like this for a year just over, no probs (yet). I got the dump valve vac blocked off, the hard pipe boost hose is capped and a blanking plug in the intake pipe.  The boost pressure is still going through the exhaust as it would if there was a recirc on it anyway, the car idles fine and boosts still to my remapped 15 psi, never over boosted yet.
