Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm going to remove my airpump and it's corresponding parts this week to further reduce weight. Do I need to keep anything in mind when pulling these parts out? For example do I need to plug any of these lines in the diagram below?

POST 3Original post

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Awesome thanks guys. I just emailed Nike and Mike, looks like they're out of stock.

POST 5Original post

Just order from your favorite parts supplier (1) 996 113 140 53 plate (1) 996 113 233 50 gasket (1) 996 113 340 50 plate (1) 996 113 213 51 gasket

POST 6Original post

I'm thinking about doing this too. How involved is the process? From the diagram it does not look too bad. Also, is an ECU mod required? I assume this would trigger a cel, right?

That's were I ordered mine as well, any advice on the removal? How long did it take you?

POST 9Original post

Really easy project on my 3.4 with clearance issues. I bet it can be done in 2-3h. It took me a weekend due to hot summer and cold beer.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

One more question. What are you supposed to do with #7 in the diagram? The kit I purchased doesn't include something to fill the hole that this component fits into

POST 11Original post

I think this is check valve. Nothing to plug up. You will need to relocate vacuum canister and make a bracket 4 it tho

Yes, the ECU will have to be modified to ignore the SAI test or you will get a CEL. Most common is a ROW re-flash.
