No such thing as a stupid question, therefore, you CANNOT be stupid for asking.

Yes, remove the butterfly and you get about a 50* drop in exhuast temps. Remove the actuator from the turbo pedestal you lose a common oil leak cause. The only down side if you remove any of the above is you no longer have the option of an exhuast brake if you tow alot.
