You're not suppose to eliminate ANY "air sensors".

If you don't even know what this stuff is, you shouldn't be pulling it off until you do. The first thing you need to do is read the FSM and learn what all the bits on the engine are. If you don't have the FSM, click here and download it in PDF format for free. That will give you lots of terms to search for, and you'll find dozens of threads about what you can take off and what effect that'll have.

Besides intake and exhaust, there is nothing on the engine that can be removed for more power and none of it weighs enough to make any real difference.

Not hasslin' ya, just giving you the tools you need. Between the FSM and searching you'll find all the info you need. All of this stuff has been discussed dozens of times. You'll avoid noob mistakes and unnecessary hassle if you know what you're doing before you start.

with a fresh, un-ported, tuned up engine you can remove all emmission stuff there is.


I live in sweden with pretty tough emmissions and i removed it all...inclusive catalytic converters and airpump, egr,ACV and so on.
I also have RTEC 1.7, 3" from turbo and so on.
0.0 in all the values except for "CO" that was 0.4

"Little loud but it'll pass this time" was all they said

AND they missed my externally openvented wastgate ;-)
