leaving it open would be your best option, as that would bleed off the boost that your turbo will produce, this will result in the greatest amount of horsepower possible with any sized turbocharger! this will also produce alot of extra airflow under ur hood to keep everything under there cooler. o, and by the way, i'm kidding.
