wait, what? why are you removing your secondary air pump?
just curious...

Been removed for 1.5 years. Needed the room in my engine bay to hide my meth system where the pump was, it's heavy, no use for it when you don't have a cat converter. Track headers don't have the hook-up for the air pump either. Lots of reasons like the ugly piping going accross the front of the engine to the header, etc. I remove all items not needed in my setup. Weight reduction is free excelleration and everything adds up when you do a lot of small things.

The air pump only runs for 2-3 minutes during warm-up to help the cat reach operating temp sooner. That is it's only purpose and I bet it weights 10 pounds.

are you sure Nick G cant incorporate the elimination of the SAP into his software, as he does with the DISA valve?

also, how did you plug up the hole for the secondary shut off valve??

I'm sure Nick can do it but it is illegial to eliminate pollution control devises. Guess it depends on how good of a friend you are with him. DISA valve is not a pollution control devise it is a tuned intake manifold devise that is eliminated with a DASC. I removed everything (Pump, valves, etc) and plugged the hole from the header with a brass plug. When I install the metric motor I'm welding the hole on the header for the air pump and doing a header wrap to reduce heat.
