I think UpRev and other ECU tuners will likely alter the TB open/close if that makes sense, but I wouldn't remove them if I were you. The ECU probably closes them for good reason for various reasons at various times (like at engine startup, and maintaining manifold vacuum for the brakes, etc) even if VVEL is doing most of the real throttling work.
