Is your SAI device still available? please let me know, as I would be very interested in purchasing one. Thank you.

I'd probably buy another just to have for a spare or future car. The one in my '01 has been working flawlessly since installed.

Related question - for those of us that want to completely remove the SAI components, do we remove everything in the diagram below, or do any of the items need to be retained? If the latter, which numbers?

If you need to provide vacuum to the Resonance Flap - you need the Vacuum Accumulator, a vacuum source and check valve.I had linked this before & in this thread:
air intake/vacuum line routing - Pelican Parts Technical BBS
So the specific question is - what codes/performance issues are there if the resonance valve is deprived of any vacuum? The Resonance Flap(K) is electrically controlled by a solenoid (J) and receives vacuum directly from the Accumulator via a "Y" or 4-way connector.This is clearly shown in the linked diagrams from Wayne and identified by part name in his next Post in the link.

I don't need one of these right now, but just want to commend you for coming up with a solution like this. Very inventive!

Thanks, Gelbster & particlewave.
So it sounds like my '98 just needs the block off plates for #5 and a vacuum cap where #7 attaches, then I can remove all items in the diagram.

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.

there may also be a tipronic vacuum line. note that when you delete the sai components you also delete the bracket that the vac tank mounts to, so you'll have to find something sturdy in there and introduce a couple of zip ties to hold it in place. also not the easiest area to work in without removing at least the plenum and resonance tube.

I already have the block off plates & gaskets, so good to go on that front.
I'm planning to rip everything out to test. Inspection isn't up until OCT so I can be a test mule for complete removal.

Sweet idea, and thread! Read it all but nowhere I found the International shipping details. Few friends here in SH who could do with this I'm sure... perfect way to get your widget on eBay the following week also, mind you 
Let me know if you okay with that and I'll advertise availability locally, if not then so be it loll

Payment sent, thanks! I wonder if this would also work for the 996 (I might need one for such a beast).
