it isnt just a case of removing the secondary air pump. the "ecotech" is just a name given for the differneces in the c16xe and x16xe

Also requires head work to do it properly.

Something to do with the inlet ports, you need to fill in holes. Somone on Mig is doing it. You can just block off the secondary air pump and be done with it though.

Errr, as far as I know, you blank off the sec air pump with a new gasket or two and a piece of metal cut from a coke tin or thin metal, but leave it in place with the wiring intact to prevent an ECU fault. You can then remove all the pipework and the exhaust manifold...

Both the c16xe and the x16xe were called "ecotec" by vauxhall!
