Hi guys,
Tried the search option but can't find what I'm looking for. I know that the Cali 1976 914 2.0 has a smog pump/system to pass emission test. If such a system is not needed in your area, would you remove it or leave in place ? Will you gain more power without this system ? If you remove the pump should you only block of the lines with caps you can buy at AA or else or are there any other modifications needed ? Other exhaust ? thks yr advise krgds Dax |

All 75-76 have the smog pump and air injection system. I removed mine because it restricts the horsepower. You can cap the injection tubes. Remove all the plumbing and pump. Pump has a fan hub shaft at fails and there are no replacements at this time. Exhaust is also restrictive. Best to backdate to 73-74 exhaust. Late exhaust tend to fall apart. By removing all of that stuff you should be able to gain about 7 hp.
