After doing a bit of searching, I reckon I did this correctly but I just want to make certain.

I have finally taken my car in to get tuned (I'll have to go for a badge later) and I also decided to take out my air pump seeing that I stepped up from the emanage ultimate to AEM.

In any case, I just took off the air pump and from looking at it, I simply left the plug there and just put a filter on the rubber tube going back to the engine.

Is this all okay? Is that plug going to be alright or do I need to do something with it? Also, is a filter going to be okay too? I had a filter on the other tube coming out of the pump when I dyno'd and it created no probs.

Cheers for any help.

 

The best thing to do is pull all the hoses completely out and take the EGR valve off and cap the hole. As for the plug, just wrap some electrical tape around it to cover it up and tie wrap it out of the way. This is what I did with no problems.

 

sweet, thanks mate.

 

I am also putting an AEM in my car. What is the point of removing the pump?

 

Weight, clearance in the corner for intercooler piping, and none of the standalone systems for the car use it.

 

My charge pipes cleared fine around them...it was the ek fogs that were having issues! No more an issue!
