Basically, the EBV closes a butterfly valve on the turbo so it creates more pressure, (theoretically) warming up the engine quicker. Deleting it removes it completely, OR cutting the arm and threading the hole and plugging it makes it so it wont engage.
Sorry about the Edit, hit post before I was ready.
P.S. I'm deleting mine.

EDIT(Again) I wouldn't do the "delete" per say, I have heard stories of people who did and their turbo fried due to not getting enough oil. I would buy the NON-EBV pedestal and do it the right way....but thats me.

IIRC that is due to plugging the EBPV solenoid back in after the delete and when the solenoid is activated it fills the chamber with oil starving the turbo. Leave the plug unplugged.

I recently gutted and plugged my old EBPV pedestal before giving to another member. Though he knows not to plug it back in, I filled the socket on the solenoid with clear RTV silicone to prevent an accidental connection of the plug. I also gave him a 470 ohm resistor, that I pre-bent for a "code eliminator".
