The N52 comes with a block off plate in place of the Secondary Air Pump (SAP or if you like Stupid A** Part).
Here is the complete list of parts I used:
11127521169 – Studs – 2
11727511542 – Block-off plate – 1
11727506214 – Gasket – 1
07119905949 – Locking Nuts – 2

There is one electrical connection that will need to be removed and zip tied off in a good spot, and from my research: Fuse for SAP is F89 (I have not disconnected, but do have notes it is connected to SAP Relay K6304 which is controlled by DME Control Unit A6000).

Since I chose to handle it myself, I am not 100% sure. I did talk to a member of BPC staff about this before my header install. In our conversation, I believe it was mentioned this is not something the tune would resolve and would need to be coded out. Reach out to them and see, but I would wager they can sort you out on this.
