Yes, you can disconnect rubber hose from each blow off valve and plug the end of that hose with 3/4 sprinkling pipe plug.
Or take those hoses completely off and put 7/8 rubber leg foot over the niple in intake pipe - sold in hardware stores to be used over chair legs.
Look up on YouTube , there is some videos " how to vent to atmosphere ecoboost "
It's hard to get to the rear blow off recirculation hose , might need to take whole intake pipe off and blow off to disconnect that darn hose.
Aftermarket intake decreases performance unless you have the type that is fully closed in and is routed to radiator suport - don't think there are any for explorer though.
It was proven by numerous people at the drag strip (on SHO - which is identical in layout and under the hood parts). It's is due to introduction of warmer air, as aftermarket intake takes air from under the hood.
