ABS leaking?

What is needed to get rid of the ABS system? My ABS is leaking a whole lot of brake fluid (brake master drains in about 1-2 days) and I'm guessing it can't be good to have brake fluid on your turbo... Thanks, any help is appreciated!

Master Cylinder, Brake Booster, and the Steel Brake Hard Lines from a non abs car. Everything around the calipers and flex brake lines will work.

I just took the ABS pump out of my car. It was leaking as bad as yours. There was a write up somewhere on how to do it. You need a flaring tool and some other little parts to reroute the lines. My brakes feel fine.

Or you gcould just but the ABS bypass kit that is a bonafide Mazda part. They knew that thier $h!t would break. I have it, took about an hour to remove ABS, install bypass kit and bleed the brakes.

Call Mazdatrix for the kit, they have the PN's.

I have the kit installed, took about an hour to remove ABS pump, install bypass kit and bleed the brakes.

Call Mazdatrix for the kit, they have the PN's.

Edit: Opps, I wanted to edit the post above, but clicked the wrong button. God damn newfangled internet!

Cool thanks, looks like the ABS bypass kit is what I'm after. I guess I'll have to go through this week re-filling brake fluid...

$30ish...
Ask them for the SS hose with it. The Mazda kit comes wwith a rubber hose and an aluminum block, the "upgrade" replaces the rubber hose with a SS braided one.

Tell them that Joe Breese sent you and you'll get to pay double price!
