Default EBPV removal question

I've been reading up on EBPV removal. I know how to do all of it except for how to deal with eliminating the EBP sensor and the soft codes that follow. When I get my exhaust in the mail this week i'm going to remove my turbo and install the non-EBPV pedestal, but not if i'm going to be throwing codes. There are some companies that sell sensor delete plugs but say there may still be a low pressure code. Unacceptable. Help?

Mine is just unplugged. Might throw a soft code, but does not make check engine light come on.

I had had a frozen/stuck EBP Valve. After that, even after reopenning it, it wanted to occasionally stick, so I unplugged it and ran like that for quite a while before I did a pedestal EBPR and the turbine outlet EBPV delete.

At first I was going to keep the valve, repurposed as an exhaust brake, (EBP and clutch rewire, with switches and relays). But I kept hearing that there was more harm that benefit in doing that, heard how hard that is on transmissions and was still having that occasional sticking problem so I completely deleted it,.. to include using an electrical bypass plug for the EBPR.

BUT-- I kept the EBP Sensor installed. It does more good than harm there. It adjusts the fuel tables when cold and I use it in Torque Gauges --> EBP PSI and EBP/Boost driven ratio... But have many friends that deleted that also and there was no matter to them.
