Do the install in reverse? Why would someone install one in an evo in the first place? OpenECU is far superior

Why are you asking a question that has already been answered? Drop the elitist attitude.

I would suggest downloading the manual from the Apexi website. I'm pretty sure the SAFCII is a piggy back style device so it probably required splicing into some wires on your ECU's wiring harness. Locate where the connections are made and undo them.

Ok everyone I bought the car used and SAFC was already on the car, but now that im tuning my car I dont need it anymore so therefore I need to remove it ASAP.

as far as manual I have it but its kind of confusing I was wondering to see if anyone has doen it, so that they can provide some pics on how to get it done the rigth way, so that way i dont mess up on splicing and putting wires back to where its suppose to be lol. thank you all for your responses.

No I don't. The question was already asked in the second post, and the OP said that he didn't install it, he got the car that way.

Its pretty easy even without a manual. Just simply follow every line going from the afc's wire harness to the ecu and remove it. They probably used soldier so you could resort to buying an iron yourself or simply cut the wires and rewrap the exposed wires on the ecu back up.

Hopefully the previous owner just tapped into the wires going to the ecu instead of cutting then reattaching. If so then just disconnect what is attached and then re wrap the exposed wires with electrical tape. Its really pretty strait forward. If you could snap some photos I could try to help identify the wires for you.
