Removing Factory Boost Solenoid

I've had the Blitz SBC-ID in my car for a while. Just wanted to know if there is a way to remove the factory boost solenoid without the car giving me a CEL?

I'd like to fully unplug it and remove it from my car since it's not doing anything! It's only there so that I don't get a CEL!

Any HELP will be greatly appreciated!

Jon leave it in. It's like what a few ounces? You already have an autotragic you aren't going to get any faster

Seriously though there are some that have removed it and measured it's resistance and put a resistor of the same value in it's place.

But I'm telling you that you should just leave it in. It lets you revert back to stock much easier when you need to take it to the evil dealers we have in Hawaii.

Good point!

I just want to isolate a fluttering noise that i've been hearing for sometime now. I just want to make sure that it's not my factory solenoid that i'm hereing. This won't be a permanent thing
