Havent heared of anyone doin it, i dont think it can be done considering if you buy the actual delete plates you need a tune, if it could be done you would prolly need a tune anyway!
There really not much money anyway so i would jus buy them!

i've heard of it being done, havent done it myself.

Just need to cut out the butterfly valves and silicone the small holes that stay.

and yes, you will need a re-tune because without teh valves, there will be nothing to regulate the air flow.

Good Luck!

I think the tune is more for the lack of motor that the CPU would be trying to run.

Sounds like it took a little R&D but got figured out from what I read. I also got those from Brenspeed on Ebay and they're sitting at the house. I think I'll just cut the blades off then turn the shaft so it doesn't block much airflow, then pin it in place. Probably open the ports up some while I'm there. I should have done this the last time I was home but spent my 2 weeks off swapping hoses, installing strut bar, installing gaugesand installing nitrous. Since I'll only be home 5 days (maybe) this time off it will probably have to wait until March.
