New(er) m7 Super AGS Install?

The modified m7 Super AGS has the reinforced left side bracket and has the right side mounting pin drilled to take a cotter pin. Just put one on and it was a bear as m7 hasn't updated their install PDF. Told them about it and they will update. Only thing I couldn't figure out was how to insert the cotter pin . I don't have the hands of an Elf and would really appreciate some help from anyone who's done it. Thanks

BTW, the AGS, on top of my other mods (see sig.), is SUPER!! I'm seeing 20psi on 1/2 throttle punches in 3rd, IAT's only ~10deg. over ambient around town and 3-4 deg. on the highway. Quiet as OEM at steady speeds and no "boy racer" noise around town. Certainly worth the price of admission!

A ScanGuage II set for MAP.

As you was! Just saw the post about getting boost readings without the MAP on the ScanGuage. Now have to figure out how to do it!

I think you forgot to calibrate it to the atmosphere

TXD: 07DF010B
RXF: 0441850B0000
RXD: 2808
MTH: 00910064FFxx

Where FFxx will fit one of the following offsets:
14.0 -- FF74
14.1 -- FF73
14.2 -- FF72
14.3 -- FF71
14.4 -- FF70
14.5 -- FF6F
14.6 -- FF6E
14.7 -- FF6D
14.8 -- FF6C
14.9 -- FF6B
15.0 -- FF6A

Best way to guess your offset would be to first display MAP on the scangauage, and while the car is in neutral, press the start button but without the clutch pedal depressed. What this will do is initiate the engine electronics without starting the vehicle. Next, take whatever MAP number the scangauge displays and complete the MTH xGauge.

Thanks a bunch . Until reading your post, I didn't even know you could calibrate the thing. BTW, where'd you get your cold side boost tube and how difficult is install?

Thank you sooo much. I'm a hi-tech klutz, but I finally figured out how to do the calibrating. I'm seeing -10.1 at idle and +12 on a brief 1/3 throttle stab. Will need to get more readings for an avg. Curious to see what it shows at WOT. Also curious as to where you got those codes and how you figured that thing out. Whatever, IT WORKS!
