I've never heard of that. It doesn't make sense that it would have any affect on the plunger.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

my friend had so much trouble with it he removed the shutoff plunger and converted it to manual shutoff.
