No benefit, only drawbacks. How do you plan to pass emissions? Going to drive around with the CEL on? Skip.

Why did you bump this? No benefits, many drawbacks.

That's the way it works:
You ask for advice, but you are really just looking for support for something (usually a bad idea) that you fully intend on doing. If you don't find support, bump the post until you find someone who agrees with you.

First : I'm a newbie here...
Second : I'm from Sweden so English is not my writen or spoken language, so it is not so easy to express my self in the exact right manners... *sorry*


YES, I want some guidelines/help with how to remove the SAI-system....

How to block of the siganls to the different sensors that are involved in the SAI-system removal ?
How to block of the CEL signal inside the CPU when the SAI-pump is removed ?

I you are hell bent on removing the system, there are others who have done it. I don't recall where, but I have seen either posts or other write-up on it. Check the Tech Section (Resources tab above) and search this forum and TOF (the other forum who's name cannot be mentioned on this forum) for info on removing it.

That said, again I will state that it is far easier to fix it than deal with the headache of removing it.

I have not find anything in the TECH section here on AudiWorld
about a SAI-system delete.

Send me a PM were you can tell the other Forum name


It is not the mechanical part of the SAI-system delete that is my problem...

The problem for me is how to delete and/or block of the signals from the sensors and the SAI pump itself so I not get fault codes and CEL-light


Since English is not my spoken or writen language there is a bit tricky to do "search" in the right manner

All help are greatly appreciated !
