Yes you will. But you won't get a code if you jam plugs in the pipes that connect BOTH of the AWS solenoids to the manifold/intercooler.

I've done this on my S5 T2 and it's not really worth it. It will still over-rev on start as the bulk of the bleed air comes from the thermo-wax system opening the throttle 6% (or more) at cold start.

Either that or you could place a 1k resistor across the two terminals of each of the connectors so the ECU thinks they are there. If 1k still throws a code be very careful how low you go on the values, otherwise you'll burn a trace or transistor in your ECU.
