Done it both ways (plates & bolts). Use grease to hold chips from dropping in the head.

Yeah my drivers side is a plate and the passenger side is a bolt. I wasnt too concerned about chips, I let them fly, at worst they mess up the turbine blades on my td04. More than likely they just chill at the lowest point of the headers.

For the 06 can I just delete the CEL and be ok if the codes are just pulling for the secondary air pump, p0410??

FWIW, I have an 06, just got finished with removing air pump and all pipes associated with it. I did however plug in the (pressure sensor?) that is located on the drivers side. This was done in conjunction with a Cobb Stg 2 and ACT HD Clutch and streetlite flywheel. I have about 150 miles on it with no CEL yet. I read some posts that say you don't need to plug in the sensor, but until I get time to test, I can't be sure if you can leave the two sensors unplugged when eliminating the air pump system and not get a CEL.

I will have to research the FSM, but my opinion is that if you delete the CEL relating to the pressure sensor the car may run, but not run optimally. Think "electrical tape over the check engine light" I am not 100% sure, but that sensor allows the ECU to adjust boost based on atmospheric pressure. |

Well, I wasn't sure either. The sensor looked similar to what some folks posted who owned 07+ and when I looked at the wiring diagram in the FSM one of the two valves shown was labeled "SECONDARY AIR COMBINATION CUT VALVE LH (WITH BUILT-IN PRESSURE SENSOR)" So, I am assuming that my car has that sensor. I have not checked the build date on the mfr tag; maybe mine is a late 06? I have looked into this some more but cannot find out what the pressure sensor does or what other systems it is affected by.

07 air pump removal
hi all, i have read this thread and searched for my specific question but haven't seen it anywhere so i'm reaching out. if i missed it and its already been said elsewhere a link would be greatly appreciated.
i have the 07 wrx and one of the valve stuck closed codes. i know that i can't simply unplug both air re-circ pumps because i have the atmospheric sensor in one of them. i have no interest in making my car lighter or my engine bay less cluttered at this point. i work a ton so i am trying to handle this with the least time spent as i can. i have contacted a reputable tuner in my area over the phone and the code clearing/computer flashing part of the job is lined up, at least in principle. what I'm hoping to do is to leave both the valves and the pump in place. I'm thinking i can unbolt and remove the crossover tube and install my block off plates from under the car. would this be feasible? i'm a former auto mechanic (now in factory based assembly work) so i'm sure i'll have all the tools needed. are the bolts accessible for removing the crossover tube accessible from under the car? thanks for your time and apologies in advance for the noob question |

As of now only one valve is stuck closed, getting the p2443 code. Pretty sure that's the exact code, at work right now

I have been clearing the code when it comes up (usually once every 2 weeks or so) but I have my inspection coming up in January so I'm trying to get ahead of this problem

Seems to me, if they are corroded enough the solenoid can't move them, they are unlikely to drift open. |

Remove the RH (driver's side) tube going from the valve to the head and install a block-off plate (and OEM gasket) onto the head. Leave the LH (passenger's side) tube in place (because you can't remove it without removing the intake manifold), cut the mating-head off of the tube where it is attached to the engine-head, and install a block-off plate (and OEM gasket) to the head. Have a tuner or similar shut-off the codes for the air-pump and secondary valves, but not the atmospheric sensor. |

Having local dealership put KStech blockoff plates on my 07. Costing like $400 but didn't like the idea of taking off the intake manifold myself. also having them replace the oil pan and oil pickup. And i'm going to have them keep the parts so i can put the atmospheric sensor back inplug after i mod it.
