EBPV Delete Q

Should I snip the connector off the old EBPV tape off the wires and plug it into the harness? Would that eliminate the soft code or should I just tape off the female connector on the harness?….OR is it NBD either way?

Jut unplug and tape up, soft code only shows on scanner.

99 and higher need a resistor to stop CEL light.

I used a carriage bolt and washer set up on my OEM turbo for years. Was an awesome cheap delete lol.

You can buy the resistor if you want, I ran one before but just snipped it out. Like stated it's only a soft code.
