has anyone done this has it caused any issues and what did you remove?? i.e did you bypass the n112 and n249 at the same time???

thanks

p.s any links will help

i killed a kitten found the link whooooooooooooooooppppppppppsssssss

post the link here please clive im looking into this too lol

do a search in the top just put secondary air system

im going to remove the sas and the n249 completly

Hi Clive, I have seen Robs thread on this very good, but did Rob not still get a cell light on even with those resistors? I am waiting to do this mod too but not sure about it due to cell light issues.

reading the write up on scn some people have no problems with the cell light and some do.......

one code needs to be mapped out the other is the use of a resistor. as soon as i no i can keep the car i will do all this and do a full report back

p.s you will have to come my way for a cuppa now lol as i aint driving my cav all the way down there ha ha

if you decide to go the full hog adn remove the n249 then the vac reservoir can come off the top of cylinder no 4 as well. Seems to be a popular delete when tidying up the engine bay.

Yep will pop up after the JKM RR day.....

okay buddy thats cool will get the drinks on ice

I did get a CEL after a while. I got Ben at Shark to remove it with my new map.

As for N249 removal - what are the risks? It has something to do with preventing overboosting doesn't it?

no buddy the n249 is a valve controlled by the ecu to operate the dv in certain conditions .. but the dv is perfectly capable doing this by itself as it a mechanical system. have read alot about it and early 1.8t never had it.

it will give you a better throttle response and a smother power delivery a win win situation

the guys on golf forum swear by it.

here is the link

have a read it sounds good to me

Sounds like a plan then. Next weekend I think

it helps if you have surging problem like i did on the original map

how long a job is this?? my isr pump is makin some noises and has a bolt broke so am lookin at doin this?? and depending on time i shall do it at work, also does anyone have a link as to where i can get hold of the resistor that is required. cheers

sounds like about 2 hours work really easy........ 330ohm resistor buy from maplins

thanyou very much kind sir

It took me about 4 hours I think because I spent a lot of time cursing those bolts that hold the air pump bracket in place

is this the resistor i need?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360003040914&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

looked on maplins and couldnt see anythin that looked the same

Edited 9 February, 201016 yr by sivrs

oh and do i need any t pieces for the job in hand??

Yes that is the one you need, same place I got mine.

Don't think Maplins sell it as I asked before.

thanks how many t pieces do i need if any?

You dont need any for removing the Secondary air system,

You will need to blank off the EGR pipe when you remove the EGR value, as in Robs installation pics.

gonna study them all later to make sure it goes my way , not a lot of patience if it doesnt so will have to hide/move any heavy objects
