RTek 1.5 and OMP removal.
S5, Electrical OMP
If I get an Rtek 1.5 with the OMP removal option can I continue to run the car with the OMP still in place and just disconnect the OMP and OMP sensor plugs from the harness?
This would just be temporary till I block it off, and of course I would premix after unplugging.

Alright, thats what I was thinking but I just wanted to make sure. Is it necessary to remove the UIM to plug the injector ports or can you work around it?

I don't see why you don't/didn't just leave the OMP.....air lines to the OMP injectors...and oil lines b/t the OMP and injectors just as is. The air line to each injector is part of the stk idle bypass air. So? What's lost? Nothing and nothing gained leaving them in place. And not much of anything gained by removing them and installing blockoff plates etc.

Well, for me:
1. My OMP was leaking from where it attaches to the block, and I was not going to remove it just to put it back with a new gasket.
2. I was replacing all the vacuum lines, and the injector bleeders and connecting "spider" were extremely hard and brittle. So In my mind, it increased reliability and allowed me to simplify the vacuum lines.
3. If for no other reason (assuming your OMP was inoperable and burning out the ECU like mine) it is one more thing that clutters the engine bay that can be removed without any serious work.
