Removing ABS

I know there's been countless threads on this, but i have a few specific questions.

In order to remove the abs pump, wouldn't i need to replace it with a brake balancer of some sort? are there any conversion kits available?

The reason i ask is because the abs pump is always in the way of any repair, and there's NO access to the turbo. Really big annoyance

Thanks
-Ross

I think you would need the proportioning valve off of a non-abs car to do it right.

There is a proportioning valve in your ABS system already and it is the same part as in the non ABS car.All you have to plumb the piping.When you have done it let me know and I will buy the ABS unit from you(at a reasonable price of course)

abs pump is new. i imagine his old one was leaking. but anyways i hate abs, i hate how it feels, i hate how much space it takes up, and i'd be MUCH more satisfied with regular brakes

is plumbing the piping something any mechanic could do?
