I currently have a code P2444 on my 06 WRX. I’ve found that this has to do with the secondary Airpump. I did actually go about replacing both valves which cost me a fair amount. I am not throwing this code again and rather than try to fix the whole system further, I’d love to go about removing the whole thing and not spending +$1500 to fix it.
Can anyone delete this? Has anyone deleted this before? How can you delete them/what do I need minus the blocking plates?
I am looking for this car to pass inspection after.
Even if you tune out the code after deleting the system you would no longer have readiness and would fail because of that. Unless there is some kind of resistor that could fool the computer into thinking you still have a working SAI system. You will have to fix that bullshit.
This seems to be something done by a lot of WRX owners from reading into it. Straight forward, this is something I am completely clueless on and see myself failing trying to attempt it with the luck I’ve been having. haha
No one has ever had issues passing inspection in nys with air pump deletes. You can force readiness with a COBB (and most likely any other tuning software). I don’t even know what tie air pump system looks like-- never had one actually installed in one of my cars haha.
Maybe it’s my stupid VW but I’m 90% sure I have a monitor for the SAI that needs to be ready for me to pass NYSI. I could be wrong but I thought it couldn’t just be turned off.
Well I have the car with the mechanic again since I already started trying to fix it. He feels I was sent a bad valve from Rockauto, so I ordered another and should hopefully find out soon.
