Just above the exhuast manifold there is piping for what looks like a second air pump. Is it necessary? I have seen some Corsas without it. I snapped the two bolts that hold it on last night.

I'm with Broster, won't gain anythign unless it's dodgey in the first place. it's inactive at WOT anyway, so can't make more power from removing it.
