ABS removal
#5
In my S4 T2, there's a separate ABS computer. I pulled that too. Either way, once you pull the pump, the light's going to stay on in the cluster, so you'll have to pull the bulb, or put black electrical tape over it.
The way I removed the ABS might be a bit extreme, but it works well and really wasn't bad. I got a fresh rebuilt non-ABS master cylinder from auto parts store, pulled all brake lines and proportioning valve from a non-ABS junkyard car and re-plumbed the entire brake system.
No leaky ABS pump, no useless ABS ECU. Lightness = Quickness.

I was surprised how heavy the ABS pump/distribution block was. I had to pull it for preparations for the block off plates. A prior owner had already bypassed the ABS system w/ a tee and some line. Though I would eventually like to replumb the lines so it's a bit more tidy.

Yah, the ABS pump feels to have been carved out of an ingot of solid lead.
