^^ There are various opinions on the bypass out there. But I would rather fix it and keep that protection device.

The sensor and switchover valve cuts the boost signal to the alda if an overboost situation should occur. Generally there are 2 incidents where this could occur, 1 your wastegate hose breaks, and you do not notice it in time. 2 your wastegate seizes closed.

These are very rare incidents, and I generally replace the wastegate hose every few years.

Your call.

i did what icefire did too with no problems. part of my power/acceleration issues were cured by this very simple solution. i did run a boost gauge though just to make sure nothing goes above 9psi
