Hey, I think you're on to something here.
If your turbo wastegate hose breaks (which it can do), the boost pressure skyrockets. Without overboost protection, you add full fuel enrichment to all that extra air and you can cook your engine before too long.
If you're going to remove your overboost protection system, I would suggest putting in a boost controller or gauge or something. But then again, it's your car and you can do what you want with it.
By the way, bypassing the system will NOT give your car added performance. If your car is working better after bypassing, it means your banjo bolt or switchover valve is dirty. The system does not come into play until there is an overboost condition.
