Disabling T-VSV?

So I'm going to install an ATS MBC tonight and I'm wanting to know the easiest way to disable the T-VSV system. I've read different things such as plugging the vac hoses that go into the wastegate actuactor, or even just simply unplugging the connector from the T-VSV solenoid? Will this be effective?
 
If anyone has done this before, any advice would be great.

    You want to block off the outlet on the wastegate actuator. Easiest way is to buy a rubber cap, or something to block off vacuum hoses. I'm not sure if unplugging the solenoid will leave it open or closed, but better to just remove something that might go wrong.

    You must remove the hose between the wg actuator and the tvsv and block both ends.

    If you want to be more complete then youd also remove the tvsv and block the feed going to it from the intake manifold, but this is unnessasary and involves more work, esp if you wanted to revert back to stock config for any reason.

    Cheers guys
    I spent this evening working on this and installed my mbc. Man it was such a pita because everything is so damn tight and ive got big hands lol
    I ended up just making my own 'plug' for the wg 2nd port with a piece of vac hose with an old bolt and cable tie. Did that for the Tvsv hose too. Still in the process of fine tuning the mbc now.
    Cheers
