Most people who have removed ABS wishes they hadn't, any way to keep?
Skill is, sucessfully tightrope walking across the Niagra Falls.
Intelligence is, having the sense not to do it.

This the only car ive had with abs and I dont like it, the new engine is taking up a fair amount of real estate and theres not enough room to shift it

if you don't like it you can turn it off...  wire a switch to the abs control module?  as for relocating it...  *shrug*

on the typ 89 quattro there's an ABS button to turn it off.  The locking the rear diff disengaged the ABS too.  If you moved the battery to the boot you could maybe move the abs stuff into that spot which is further back in the engine bay...

Engineers tend to go off specs = so evidence may be gone but you will be in a heap of trouble if they research the model.

I think they install ABS for a reason in engines with that torque?
 But your choice.
