It is not the boost actuator that gets unplugged. The actuator is real important to keep fubnctioning properly. You are refering to the boost dump solenoid. The "boost bypass mod" and unplugging the boost bypass solenoid accomplish the same thing. Neither adds performance or boost. It just ensures the boost dump does not open when you are racing. Most have that turned off in the tune nowadays anyway.
