Some still use it and some don't. Most who boost more than about 5 pounds remove it since it is going to hinder the boost. However, since I'm not boosted I have no idea if you use the rear bank or the front when you lock the VRIS down on way or the other.

So you take the butterflies out, which bank do you use to run the intake of air through? I can't imagine using both banks...

why not ? that's what it does when both butterflyes are open anyways
and the turbo will compensate for the little loss in the lower rpm range
