I'm looking at ditching the SAI System from my Sport (X14XE)

The 4-Branch Manifolds I'm considering don't support the system, so instead of it sitting there redundant, I'd rather remove it all.

Is there a guide for doing this anywhere?
Or can anyone give me the info I need to be able to do it?

So there is only a solenoid to leave connected - I can rip out the Pump etc without issue?

Yeah, I'm not worried about MOTs etc, I disabled it on my old Cavalier and never had issues, but never removed it fully as it was a bit difficult to access

Is it best to leave all wiring connections made? Or is it just this Solenoid thats been mentioned?
IE, can the pump just be disconnected with no EML Issues?

Removal does not effect eml , you will have a little pipe that sucks in air,just block off.

Cheers, looks like people are getting it confused with the EGR by saying to leave items connected!

On my old Cav, the SAI System had to have some wiring left connected or frigged otherwise EML Issues would be raised. Thats also why I was getting a bit confused.
