As in remove altogether? don't... put simply... you will break the turbo... you need a dump valve..

Meh.
Easiest solution if you want to remove it, is to cut 2 1'' bits of the end of a wooden broom. Use these to plug the two 1' holes, and a small bolt to plug the TIP hole.
Enjoy the flutter noise until your turbo dies

Just get a cone filter, you'll hear it more? tbh removing a good product will cost you more in the long run.. instead of doing something that can potentially harm your car, do things that will help it..
For all you others thanks for ya input as i said in welcome area i dont know audis at all so i will leave it on and greatfull for the positive input rather than the 1 negative whos a funny man.

Don't take it to heart dude... we see a lot of n00bs asking the same question... you aren't to know of course as its all new to you (we were all there once lol)
I'll pre-empt another question I know you will ask at some point... BOV's or atmospheric valves are not suitable for the 20v either... this is due to the way the ECU measures all the air coming into the engine and fuels accordingly... BOV's release metered air to atmos and the fuelling the ECU thinks is right then becomes rich which leads to misfires and stalling of the engine... some people will tell you that they have had no problems with one fitted... all I will say to that is peoples perception of 'no problems' varies immensely...
Anyhoo... there is a wealth of info on here and generally a search will help find stuff as will a look through the sticky threads... if the search is a little too vague then use Googles site: search phrase (site:http://www.audi-sport.net search words) as Google are fairly good at indexing the site

i put a jetex cone on my S3 last week you can hear alot more turbo noise now might be an idea and safer too
Sorry about my comments mate, granted we were all in your position at one point.
The engine will perform and run a lot better with a decent diverted valve
Get yourself a 007p, decent filter and turbo intake pipe and you'll soon hear a new noise to fall in love with
I too love turbo chatter but unfortunately as tuffty has pointed out, these engines don't like atmospheric valves
Sorry once again fella, feel the love
Peace!

flutter is a non functional DV
Advise is to fix that... whether you think it sounds cool or not, it should not flutter.. Woosh, yes.. more boost more woosh if thats what you are after... and yes open induction kits will Woosh more.
flutter however is not a good thing to have.
I think above ^^^ is the easiest to understand and best answer to your question your ever going to get!!!!!
badger5 answer = 5/5! even i understood it!
I posted a video on another thread from youtube showing the noise your DV should NOT be making.
