yes you can disable it either by unplugging it electrically or blocking the vaccum pipes to it.

it's safe to do as it puts your car into
'safe mode' thus reducing overall boost by 3psi ish.

Usually done when fitting an aftermarket boost controller and a must do if working on a rev3+

yeah disable it if fitting an aftermarket boost controller.
I've had nothing but problems by leaving it connected.

Well I have removed it on my rev2 after fitting my profec B.

One or two things to remember.
- it will boost like normal even when cold
(potential for engine dammage).
- You have just removed one of the safety devices from your engine.

just remember not to boost the car until its all warmed up.

also with the safety devices there are lots of other devices that will cut in to protect the engine, the tvsv is just the first line defence, but with an aftermarket boost controller it causes more trouble that good, more likely to spike and do damage.

Rip if off
