See Post #5 in this Thread.
Mr. Stone gave us the part names and numbers that the Track Rats use and the source. You could probably make your own easily.
But we really need to field test this for a while (Particleweave will decide this not me). I mention this because a previous attempt at this SAI circuit mod failed because(?)
:" the CEL comes on after the engine has been driven for some time due to a self-test of the SAI valve that is done with the engine warm. To perform this test the SAI pump is activated but the SAI valve controlling the air flow is not opened."
In this old case, removing some electrical parts of the SAI system(Pump) caused the mod to fail. There were variations by model year (already mentioned in earlier posts) that contributed to the confusion. So we need to be cautiously optimistic.
