Hey,
Does anyone know how to remove the emissions crap without getting codes on the s5 ecu's?

 

Are you actually getting a CEL? If you remove the emissions properly you shouldnt be getting any CEL but the codes will still be there. I have read of people using resistors (I think) to trick the ECU into not registering the codes. Not too sure about it but I'm sure you can find it in a search.

 

When I removed mine I didn't get any codes (Rats nest, air pump)

 

as long as you dont unplug anything major you whont throw a code, like aboost sensor bac sesnor stuff like that

 

S4's are not so fussy, but the S5's need continuity on the solenoid circuits.

I left the solenoids plugged to the harness with no vac lines on them, then bundled them up with zip ties.

Dummy resistors are more elegant. I need to get an ohms value off a solenoid and do that.

For the cleanest job, remove the plugs & put the resistors in at the ECU.

 

Yes, I've heard of using resistors, but I always hear the same thing about not knowing which kind to use. Does anyone know of how many watts, and ohms?

Also I should have said this earlier. I am removing everything just because I am to lazy to put it back. I talking about ap, ps, a/c, rats nest, acv, and all emissions on the intake manifold.

I know for a fact that nothing happens with s4 ecu's, but s5 Ive heard different.
If anyone knows what size resistors to put on, let me know.

 

comon guys your making me want to push myself to getting a standalone...this would be a good time for a write up...WE MUST HELP THE NEWBS!!!!
