996 Turbo 4WD to 2WD

Hi Guys,
Need your advice. I am usually posting in the 993 Forum and I am not really familiar with the 996. We are building a first time a 996 Turbo race car for a Friend and just recognized a problem that we did not consider at the beginning of this project
The car is 996 NB with a 996 turbo engine and will be used only on track. The problem is it's 996 Turbo ABS PSM unit which interferes with the 2WD set up of the car.
I was thinking of replacing the ABS PSM unit with a 996 GT2 ABS control unit but I am not sure if that would solve the problem or create another problem.
In addition to that the 996 GT2 ABS Control unit (996.355.955.93) is above $3K. I would like to remove the PSM somehow from the Control unit or be able to witch it off completley.
I am sure couple of you guys already modified your cars from 4WD to 2WD or did simmilar mods and ran probably into the same issue.
I really would appreciate it if anybody could give me an advise how to solve this issue.
Thanks

I remember there's a certain pump you can disconnect to complete disable PSM, if that's what you are after ...?

996 Choy, thanks for reply. Yes I am looking for something to disable or to switch off the PSM completely.

The disconnect point is up in the front boot, under the plastic removable housing, next to the brake master cylinder or brake booster. Here's a pic:
