well there are lines coming off the airpump, one of those goes to the intake, and turbo guys don't want that crap there

also, most turbo guys go with a stand alone EMS, which doesn't require the use of emissions equipment, so they remove it to clean up the car/engine bay a little bit

It gets in the way of intercooler piping

It also complicates the installation of a water pump for an air-liquid intercooler for supercharged setups.

Either the car was boosted or NA modded six ways to Sunday.
