Air pump removed
I'm taking my turbo out of the car to have the waste gate ported. My question is can I drive without the airpump?

If you have a catalytic converter, I wouldn't.

If you don't, you don't need the air pump.

If the wire to your 02 sensor broke on the sensor side of the plug. Go buy a new 02 sensor, it comes with the wire and plug on it.

The wire snapped closer to the other end. I'm not sure where it goes because it dissapears under some tape and what looks like the rest of the engine harnes.
