The whole point of SAI disable/delete is to have no SAI codes- ever again. Without the reflash SAi disable/delete is nonsense.

I probably did because I only read to the part where the discussion deteriorated into a pissing contest about whether or not it was legal, at that point I read no further.

Our solution was to check the vac lines.
Vac lines were off also replaced the
Pump relay as it was a inexpensive part.
And it is on the bulkhead of the rear trunk.

Thom,
Salvage yard SAI pump
It would be interesting to know if there are other cars with the same pump?

I don't know. I think the Bosch part number is: 0580000012 or 0580000001258. I read this off a used one on Ebay

Manny986 I would be certain the SAI pump is not working by having it tested before spending any money on a new or used one. Since the pump only runs for a couple of minutes on cold start up they typically last a long time.
Also I'm curious if anyone has actually done the procedure Gelbster is referring to and does it work.

Just search "ROW Reflash" there is lots to educate those who are interested. There are lots of other threads on the ROW reflash subject -no need to repeat it all here.It is an old story with new twists.
If you need help with a DIY rebuild,try this:

Have you done this "reflash" to your Boxster and did it pass smog in California?
