can i remove it?



"You cannot remove the airpump on s5 n/a(s) as it is needed for proper operation of the VDI, unless you want to mess around with electronic activation.."- 1revvin7



is that true? i hope that i can just take it off its such an eyesore.

 

yes it's true, S5 6PI and VDI run off the airpump for actuation. S4 uses exhaust backpressure.

 

is there any way i can remove my airpump?

 

wrenches seem to do the job well enough...

i meant will it still run correctly?

You can rig up electronic actuation with some solenoids and a rpm switch, this has some nice advantages anyways, you can tweak when VDI and 6PI come on.

 

how would i go about rigging up the electronic actuation and how much would it run me?

 

ecu would control it



besides that i dunno

 

or you can pull off the airpump and then rip out the 6th port sleeves like vosko and i did on the gxl i had.

 

But what about the VDI then?
