TGV Plugs

[Solidworks-Mike]

Is it ok to cut off the TGV motor and sensor plugs from the engine harness if I've removed the actual TGV stuff?

I'll deal with the codes later down the road.

I did. No issues.

Same here. You will want to be sure you cover each wire end in shrink wrap so they don't short out on anything and cause issues.

I plan on doing a TGV delete. The wires that go to the TGV position sensor, I am going to hook to a AIT between my Awic and throttle body. The other one I will hook to an oil temperature sensor. That way I will have that information in my data log.

Agee with insulating the wires not plugged in. A 5 volt wire bouncing against you engine block will really screw with your ECU. It would be an PITA to find the problem. I would not cut off the connector. I would seal it with shrink tubing and/or electrical tape.
