Exactly what it sounds like it would do, reduce turbo noise, the only reason to remove it is to make the turbo more audiable. No performance reason to remove it, or leave it in...

I believe Holset calls it an "inlet baffle", and I believe it slightly increases compressor efficiency by creating more laminar flow. I used to think it was just to reduce noise on Dodge trucks, but I've seen it now in other Holset applications.
Of course, I still don't run a silencer ring because I love the noise
