The major downside to using the EBV as a brake is if it ever malfunctions closed and you don't notice it it will melt the turbo to slag. I've only seen it happen once, and that person was using an aftermarket brake.

I know when I had one bolt missing from my turbo exhaust housing I couldnt feel a difference with the ebpv on or off. Up pipes leaking..... that doesnt sound like fun. I will see what I can find. How big of a pain is it to fix?
