I'm putting in my turbo and the air pump inside the bumper area on the drivers side is kinda in the way of my charge pipe.

I was wondering if I need this at all when running the AEM EMS or if I could maybe take it out. Would I need to plug up any lines of reroute anything?

Thanks.

 

It doesn't work with the aem ems so it serves no purpose other then dead weight.

 

So when I take it out what do I do with the hose going to the motor?

 

I just zip tied them down so they wouldn't move around.

 

what are the other things down there ... there are some wires and such ... what do they go to ?

 

I kept mine to make it easier to go back to stock should I need to.

 

what does that thing do anyway??
where does the blown air go to?
i have it hosed to the vortech airbox to feed the air to filter.
Is that where its meant to go to??

 

air goes into the exhaust system to heat the cat up faster.

 

It is fed into a phanton 'fifth port' on the intake manifold, and from there to the head and into the exhaust manifold. It provides extra air to the cat to heat it up when the engine is cold.

There is a valve mounted on the intake manifold that opens and closes the port but with the AEM it remains closed so there is no need to remove it or cap it or whatever.
