Title: Air pump removal
Post by: Donato on June 22, 2004, 09:15:54 AM
Is it worth it, i have read good and bad. Could people that have done this please tell me if the idle is erratic and low down speeds effected?

I think the erratic problem only occurs on stock ecu\'s.

I\'ve had mine removed some time, no probs as have most other people I have spoken to.

You\'ll need to sort a pulley kit to drive the water pump and alternator though.

Thanks max,

I am putting in a pfc and have taken in account of the pulley kit costs...

no air pump here and its fine (power fc), no aircon either mate, it\'s a pain to get to if there\'s problems so it was left out when the engine was fitted.
