Twin scroll.

No, do not remove it if you are running the stock turbo and manifold. Low RPM boost will suffer.

Yes, people remove it. I don't use it on my NA-turbo setups. All I did was remove the flapper assembly, then tap the hole for a 1/2" bolt to plug it.

Fixed.

Why would you remove something if you don't know what removing it will do?
