Yeah the air pump is to do with the emissions if you\'ve got a stock intake and exhaust. It pumps air into the stock exhaust before the cat to help with the emissions. I\'m gonna remove mine this year. its one of my many goals im gonna hit that i\'ve never got round to doing.



You don\'t know how long that took to wright. I\'m so drunk right now. Merry Christmas!
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

Sorry been away a while :) -  The \'Vac Rack\' is all the metal vac pipes that sit under the manifold.  Once you remove the emissions stuff, virtually all of it is redundant and can be removed.  At the most basic, you need only the fuel lines (can run seperate braided ones, so the stock piping can go), a vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator, and the oil feed to the turbo.  The rest of the piping and the solenoids can be removed - they weigh in at about 2-3 Kg\'s - not much weight but it simplifies things to get rid of them.
