With the stock compressor wheel, you MIGHT surge. Just listen for it and if it does, put it back on. It's not like pulling that line will send a barrage of parts flying out from under your hood. LOL... It may cause surge, which is hard on the turbo -- mine did that, but the WW took care of it. And who knows if the SC will push it hard enough or not. Give it a try and let us know. If you do pull it, press the end of the line onto one of the clamp threaded rods for the I/C pipe that's right there It keeps the pressure in the system instead of it being a small boost leak.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

I tried to run mine with the red line off, I didn't go far and put it back on. I had surge before I took the line off, but with the line off, the surge was really bad. Like Joe said, try it, if you don't get surge you should be good.
EDIT: I never had surge with the superchip, only with the DP-TUNER.

what was the like piece of rubber hose and the little plastic splice with the hole drilled in it for?? it came with the overboost elimitor (sp) and said to put it on up where the line connects to the wastegate its just like a 1inch piece of rubber hose that pushed on the wastegate and then the plastic splice with the hole in the middle then the map line itself...can i just put the map line back on with-out them 2 pieces but leave the valve inline...

That add is full of talking. It is only a regulator on the boost map line to keep the map from seeing more then 22# of boost. Our trucks start to defuel when the map sensor sees over 22# of boost. This regulator only allows 22# to go through it so the map sensor only sees the 22# of boost. You could be making 35# boost but the map is only seeing 22.
This is the same thing that is in the link I gave you. But a lot cheaper.
