Tramp gives you (as package ffap, for example) a mean to configure its
behaviour. You could let-bind `non-essential' to t; in this case Tramp
wouldn't disturb your own completion algorithm.

ido.el and icomplete.el use this variable such a way.

If you want to disable Tramp completely, you could let-bind `tramp-mode'
to t.

Best regards, Michael.
