I can try it on my DD. I have played with the turbo vane position for start up, but haven't deleted the throttle valve. I can unplug and see what happens and then work through it if this is something customers are looking to do.

Just to follow up, unplugging the throttle valve fixed the idle when the engine was cold. Unfortunately it is to warm here now to really see how this affects the warm up of the engine in cold temps.
It should have nothing to do with the truck warming up if egr is deleted. The only thing it does is close the fresh air off causing the engine to suck air through the EGR system. If all that is gone then there is no need. I havent had a throttle valve on my truck in years.

It only closes for a split second. That's why you get a puff of white smoke and a stumble. The valve doesnt seal it off 100%. It's a very quick moving valve.

To clarify, there is no problem with removing the throttle valve when running EFI Live on a deleted engine ?
The two I tuned were already unplugged from them running a h&s prior. Left them that way without any issues.
Yes that is correct. You will be better off IMHO to unplug that valve.

I have had no problems leaving the valve unplugged and disabling DTCs. I didn't try leaving it plugged in to find out what happens.
