Thanks Paul ...yes no pipes on mine ,,,or any plugs that I can see ....It looks like you don't have the pipes or the pump. The two photos below show the setup on mine. The key ingredient here is the existence of the two metal pipes attaching to cylinder head (1 per side) just inboard of each exhaust pipe. Those pipes supply the air produced by the pump. These pipes are obvious when you get your head down there, you don't have to remove anything to see them.
Here is a close up of one of the metal pipes as it connects to one of the cylinder heads (circled red) and held in place with a hex nut. Some folks have removed both nuts/pipes entirely and all the other gubins associated with the SAS and plugged the hole on each cyclinder head. I left mine in place. If the metal pipes don't exist on your bike then the pump won't exist either and this thread will not apply to your bike.

Here is a picture of the pump and pipe on LHS of my actual bike. You can see the pipe connecting to the cylinder head behind the exhaust (top blue arrow) as referenced in the previous picture. The pipe joins to the rubber hose ((lower blue and purple arrows) coming from the SAS pump (circled red). You can see how the metal pipe has been capped under the rubber pipe, in my case by a small blue "bung"). Simply slip down the rubber pipe (therre is a compressable clip that you release first), put the bung on the exposed metal pipe and in my case, I slid the rubber pipe back over the bung and metal pipe.

Reading through on-line reviews of the eldorado and audace models from TotalMotorcycle.com (and others) , it seems that the Audace was euro 4 compliant when first introduced whereas the eldorado could be manufactured to euro 3 standards (i.e. without the sas pump).It’s a mystery…hopefully Todd will chime in
Maybe it’s just On the other models
Thanks Paul ,appreciate your help and input ...now i can move on to installing the power commander VReading through on-line reviews of the eldorado and audace models from TotalMotorcycle.com (and others) , it seems that the Audace was euro 4 compliant when first introduced whereas the eldorado could be manufactured to euro 3 standards (i.e. without the sas pump).
From what I have read on euro compliance, existing model bikes could role over euro 3 compliance until 2017 when all new bikes, regardless of model or heritage had to meet euro 4, but new models like the audace had to be euro 4 from the get go. I can certainly see some 2017+ model eldorado's on sale that have the SAS in the photos. I suppose the question is, did the eldorado, due to its past guzzi heritage count as an existing model in 2016. That might explain it.
Probably runs better for it (Euro 3 vs Euro 4). My Euro 4 was so jerky below 2500rpm that I had to buy Todd fueling to fix itFWIW, my 2014 1400 Custom has none of this hardware....
