    Removing ABS

    There a possibility that I will have to remove my ABS unit and I have two questions

    1) Is it ok to just cut the harness and cap the exposed wires? (Will the dash light come on?)

    2) Is is necessary to use a non-abs master cylinder or can I use a splitter for the front brake lines?

    I don't know why you'd want to remove the ABS unit. But if you insist, remove the unit, the module and wiring. You can use a splitter for the front calipers.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      I'm installing a supercharger on a 24V car and there isn't a lot of room in that corner. I haven't removed it yet. I just want to know what my options are.

        I don't know why you make it sound like this is such a bad idea....?

          Removing the module wasn't as big of a deal as I thought once I figured out how to disconnect the harness from the module. I left the wiring in the car and used a splitter for the brake lines, as suggested above.

            Any way to avoid the dash light being on as a result?
