Nothing dumb about asking something you\'re not certain about.

Below (I think) 3000 rpm the normal FD runs rich. The air pump blows air thru the cat to stop it getting clogged up.

Once above 3000 its clutch dis-engages and stops blowing.

Dumb ass answer is it takes up loads of room in the engine bay. More serious answer it injects air into the cat at low revs aiding emmisions. If you\'ve no cat you can ditch it.
