If you have a temperature reading your OBC is on.  If not, then it is not on.  
Also, the OBC is the wiring of the car under the drivers seat I would highly recommend you do not remove it.  That would be very bad because it would disable the entire car.  The OBC is not one module.
I did the OBC, it was the best $50 I have spent on my Boxster. And try searching for OBC there are a lot of threads on this.

  You should post some Pictures!
And Good Luck with the Mod!
