FMIC Sprayer Removal

Would anyone recommend the removal of the FMIC sprayer from my '03 EVO? I'm looking at running a Cry02 system and I'm thinking that it won't fit with the stock sprayer.

Yes, remove it. Just a waste of space and weight. Does nothing worthwhile for performance.

Remove it, or use it for something with more gains. ie an alcohol kit.

How much weight do you honestly save from removing it?

Also would you only remove the actual tank? Those lines and whatnot way close to nothing.

I pulled my tank and all the lines when I installed my tt turbokit. It was pretty full, so 11lbs seems about accurate. I also pulled off the lines and nozzles. I never used it anyway.

I pulled out the intercooler sprayer switch and put the map selector switch for my utec in it's place.
