After doing some searching I didnt really find much information regarding to removal of it. Im sure people here have done it I was just looking for specific informaion as to what you do with plugging the wholes, and the whole kombi valve. Anyone?

Jeff apparently figured it out and the new C2 chips don't throw SAI codes.

Not really. Unless someone has evidence supporting this claim.
I removed the SAI, which was producing 1 code after i unhooked it.
Now that he "coded it out" i have 3-4 codes all the time and no cruise control. It was something i agreed to do at the time under the understanding that I would have no cruise control but the car would run, which was the most important thing at the time.

I stand corrected. Apparently the bugs are all worked out, I'll know for sure soon.

SAI system will not function below ~38F, Becuase of the possibilty of ice in the air pump.
Should the pump try to run when frozen: possible SAI pump motor destruction.
I'd bet this is mostly why (northern) Canadian spec. (live in cold weather) cars tend not to have SAI system as std.

Is there any way to get hands on an ECU from Canada? I'd like to get rid of that silly thing without pulling a code...
Or rather, when being chipped, could it now really be coded out?

I have no SAI on mine, look for an ECU with P/N ending in JM or FB, they don't have cruise control either, if you search the archives there is a good thread with all the AEG ECU numbers you could find one with CC but no SAI if needed.
Talk to Jeff, I know a couple have had them coded out, but some people have issues with it.
 
Re: SAI Removal? (kobrakai176)

bump! Seriously that simple? I put a used AEG in my car after my first motor's rings went, now I need an inspection, and the used motor didn't have any SAI equipment on it. I keep getting code 0411 (and 0422 and 0442, but that's another mystery)
