I read in another post of running a 3/8" NPT tap into the exhaust hole/port and plugged it with a steel pipe plug (used hi temp silicone to ensure seal and as thread lock). Not sure exactly where the port comes from so I carefully pushed kleenex into the hole to catch filings. By pre-lubing the tap, any filings stayed attached to the tap anyways. Sucked kleenex out with shop vac. I capped the supercharger ports with OEM caps (there is a factory port cap on the unused port on the passenger side of supercharger below the supercharger's EGR port). Caps were $6.75 ea thru the dealer.

I emailed Jerry at EC and he informed me that he cannot.
I would also like to remove Secondary Air Injection. Looks easy to do, but this would probably be even worse than a CEL. Haven't searched yet, but I imagine someone tried it.

I covered the bulb with tape and assembled the cluster together again. Looks flawless.
