I did a delete on my OMP and am left with the pump hooked up. Is it possible to take it apart to make it easier to hide away, or does it need to be complete?

get a block off plate for it and remove the pump.

He can remove the pump and put a block off on the engine.
BUT: the guy has an S5.
It needs to be electrically hooked up to the harness or else it will put the car into LIMP Mode.
ECU must "see" the OMP hooked in.(still connected to the harness).He can remove the omp but Dangle it in the bay somewhere.
Only way to get around this is a Aftermarket "chipped ECU" from here:
digital tuning, inc.

Hey man I'm sorry to jack post but I have a question. My car is currently throwing code 27 and it's putting it into limp mode. If my oil metering pump is bad can I still block it off and leave it connected or will it still throw a code? Btw is a 91 n/a vert.

It would still throw a code and it would eventually lead to your ECU being damaged. You will need to replace the pump and quite possibly replace your ECU. You have the option of having your ECU rechipped, which will allow you to bypass the oil pump thus you're faced w/premixing as the complete solution.

I bought a used OMP from a junk yard the other day. Can I just leave the bad one on and kinda like use it as a block off and just connect the one from the junk yard and tuck it off to the side for now??? Thanks for all of your help.

^Yes.

Would it only be temporary or I actually drive it that way for a while? Would it hurt anything by leaving the old pump on there?

As long as you properly premix and the newer OMP doesn't throw an error code then you are fine regardless of how long you leave it that way.

Love how my question isn't answered then I get thread jacked. Rx7 club pulls through again.

Your question had a scent of silliness because you stated that you deleted the pump but were then asking if it needed to be complete.

Find on old one and test it out? Besides removing the lines I'm not sure how much smaller it could get.

It looks like the plug piece actually comes off of the rest of it, but was just curious if anyone's taken it apart and still ran fine.
