Air Pump Question

Is the air pump really needed for anything important on a stock 90 N/A GTU? I'm asking cause the mounting bracket is broke clean through and for the most part all I see it goin to is the exhaust

if you still have catalitic converters they will clog without it. you als o have an s5 so your auxilary ports are actuated by the pump so you will have to find another way to actuate them.

yeah, keep it. On an s5 it is much more necessary.

Or you can say **** the aux ports as I have and wire the VDI wide open. You'll lose about a quarter of your lowend torque and drivabillity but the top end will rock all thee same.

Oh yeah...cats thing is true. Without it you'll **** the cats...the coverter kind and any that happen to be sleeping near by...that's smelly.
