You would also risk damage to the turbo. As the purpose of the dump valve is to release boost when the throttle is closed thus preventing the turbo stalling with the risk of damage.

No. Outright power isn't affected by the dump valve at all. But turbo response will be so you'll get more lag between gears with the dump valve inoperative.
