Blocking Off Sensors on UIM

hey fellas. I have my UIM off and i was wondering which sensors can i remove now that i have a power FC. On the bottom of the UIM there is the AWS, AWS pipe, the air temp sensor and some other sensor that is right next to the AWS pipe. The Air Temp stays but what about the rest? Can i remove them?

Will any of those 3 things prevent me from running sequential?

I think you circled the ISC closest to t/b and AWS . I think the pfc uses these for better idle and warm up but im sure someone with power fc can answer better. I dont have to run them on my haltech.

You can remove them all. Remove your double throttle and fast idel cam while you have it torn apart as well. The only thing you leave is the air temp sensor. They have nothing to do with your sequetial system your all good.

You can remove the AWS no sweat. I'd leave the ISC - it does a fine job, and is only one connector. And you do need the air temp sensor.

If you wanna do it nicely, get a JDM upper intake manifold - it doesn't have the AWS flanges at all, it's blank in those spots, but you can use the ISC and whatnot.

I don't see a good reason to remove the double throttle - I like keeping it on there if someone besides me drives the car, I know they won't be able to fully get on it when the car is cold.

I'm not a fan of gutting things for the sake of gutting things - stuff like the AWS is in the way and useless, but most other things aren't in the way and do a fine job.
