Just unplug the little loom to the pump,noise gone just hav to reset the code.you can trick it with a resistor kit iv seen on the bay.

just delete it, it makes so much more room and gets rid of loads of piping
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

You'll need the blanking plate, resistor to trick the ecu, and mine also needed the Sai faults coded/mapped out the ecu.
Its a few hours work to strip it all out. Make sure you remove the hard lines at same time, don't try remove them later... :/

You shouldn't get the faults with the resistor in place.
Its a simple enough job, I did it a while ago with a guide off Vortex I think, just check and then double check before you start chopping into pipes

Resistor in place you still may get the "Improper flow" CEL light on dash. I did and had to get it coded out the ECU ;)
