SAI delete

Asking those of you who have deleted the secondary air pump: what did you use to blank off housing where the hose from the pump attaches? I've looked all over for a plastic or rubber plug of the proper size.

If youre gonna delete it, do it right and delete all the crap under the intake also. Few extra minutes but much cleaner

Do you mean this manifold and conduit? Is there a blanking plate for the two holes machined in the head for the ROW version?

Having done the complete SAI removal I highly suggest doing it with the engine out of the car. It is a major PITA in the car.

Fortunately, it is out of the car. Wouldn't even consider doing it installed!
Thanks.
